There appears to be an obscure problem using GnuEmacs
in the following manner:

1: Login to a terminal with direct connection to a unix machine
   (MASSCOMP)
2: `telnet' to a local ultrix gateway.
3: At the Login prompt type `VMSNODE::' to connect to a vms cluster
4: Login to VMS as usual.

The problem is that many control keys do not work (I.e. C-h, C-x, C-a,
C-f, etc) with no apparent pattern.

The terminal is set to VT100 using VMS; the same bug occurs if I
set the Gnu symbol `emacs_term' to `vt100'.

The version of GnuEmacs is 18.49.

The problem only occurs through telnet and a gateway.  The GnuEmacs
works fine if I directly hook up to the VMSNODE:: 

Thanks,
