I just put up "rn" (finally) yesterday and it appears to have a small
but annoying bug in the built-in pager.  Each time rn prompts for input,
it outputs 1 or 2 too few spaces such that columns don't line up properly.
This happens on my terminal (a Qume QVT-109), on our Sun consoles and when
running the "screen" program on either.  It appears that rn is putting out
an extra ESCAPE character after it exits stand-out mode on the Qume.  At
first I thought that the terminal might be doing something strange because
of that, but it turns out that rn really puts out a variable number of
spaces.  Any answers?  Sorry if this has been brought up before, but as I
said, I just got rn a couple days ago.  Version is 4.3, patchlevel 40 (is
this up-to-date?).

						Thanks,
