I assume I am not the only one having this problem. When I use RR10.3
to access a VAX running 4.3 BSD UNIX, the VT100 emulation works fine
EXCEPT whenediting with gnuemacs. Then the cursor on the screen and the
cursor in the buffer end up diverging horizontally.

I suspect the problem is with tabs. But I tried using STTY to turn off
the tabs with no effect. I tried the vt100-np TERMCAP entry instead of
the vt100 entry (I.e., I tried no padding), but that had no impact.
I tried hacking the vt100-np TERMCAP entry to remove all references to
tabs. That got rid of the horizontal divergence problem but introduced
a vertical diveregence problem (i.e., wrong line instead of wrong character).

Any of you wizards out there got a suitable TERMCAP entry up your sleeve?
