I'm trying to use the SC unix spreadsheet program which appeared on the 
net a while back (I have version 5.1).  It seems to be working fine, except
for the screen updating.  When it first draws the screen, it puts the column 
numbers which are supposed to be down the left-hand side in a stair-step
progression out into the middle of the screen.  Then any time you move the
cursor, there is garbage left behind, and it doesn't always move straight
across or down the screen (it sometimes follows the stair-step pattern).

As far as I can tell, the spreadsheet works properly, but just doesn't
update the screen correctly.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Have you
had similar problems?  I tried sending mail to the author of the program,
but haven't gotten any response.  By the way, we're running 4.2BSD.  I shall
probably have to plunge into the code and figure out what's going wrong, but
I wanted to see if anyone else had already done so.

Thanks and regards,
Scotters
