This sounds like the so-called "edit page" mode, when what you want is
"edit line" mode.  The TeleVideo terminals I'm familiar with, 950s,
have sequences to switch between these modes: ESC N to switch to edit
page and ESC O to switch to edit line.  While I have no way to tell
whether these are what the 970 uses, it may be worth trying: put \EO in
the :is=: capability (and remove \EN if present) and see if it helps
any.  Do you have a manual for it?  You might look for "edit page"
versus "edit line".
