	We have a 3B2/400 running Version 5.3 and had noticed the problem
when I installed some new software and found that by using the command
" stty ofill " the problem was solved. I don't know why but it works for us.
It appears there is no diference if you use either " ofdel " or " -ofdel ".
They both work, but is this another problem or is it the fix. I leave that
to others with more knowledge about unix.
