I also like Telix very much, but have had problems with the VT102 emulation.
Not exactly the one mentioned above, but the "r" command (replace char)
leaves a blank; then redrawing the screen with ^L shows the new char right
where it should be. My termcap works fine with other VT102 emulators (I've
never tried it on a real VT102), so I don't think that's the problem.

There are a few other instances of flakey behaviour -- nothing serious,
but food for the next release. I've tried to reach Exis via their bulletin
board, but it's busy even at the weirdest of hours. Perhaps they are listening.
