I think I have the same problem.  It is so hard to describe that
I haven't bothered to try.  But moving the window/screen up and
down causes problems.

As for enhancements, I would like an auto-wrap option and also a
printer on/off option.

One more thing.  I mentioned a while ago that *my* version ov VT100
leaves DTR on even after I click the go-away gadget.  I thought this
was a real neat feature.  But according to Wecker, the program does
*not* leave DTR on.  So now I've found that this thing that I thought
was a feature, actually only happens under certain circumstances.  I'm
trying to isolate just when I get this feature.  For some reason I
could not get the feature to work at all last night (DTR kept going off
when I quit the program) but I swear, the night before it was working
just as I've said: DTR remained on.  I will post the details when I
figure it all out.

I want to join the Dave Wecker fan club too.
