Firstly, "OOPS" is output when the function 'tgoto' gets a cursor
motion (cm) string it does not understand.  This is probably happening
when tgoto runs into "%\066" which is equivalent to "%6", which it
won't understand.  The reason things appear wrong is probably due
to the cm string being wrong.

Why VI works is beyond me, I can guarantee you that PC/VI wouldn't
understand it!
