The following uuencoded typescript is a bit of output for an ANSI
X3.64 terminal.  It was produced by Gnu Emacs running GNUS.  If you
have an ANSI terminal (or VT-100), you can cat the file and see that
all the numbers on the left hand margin line up.  I am using a PC with
NANSI, and they line up for me.  If you run screen and try the same
thing, you'll see that the numbers don't line up.

I have tracked the problem down to CursorRight, which refuses to move
the cursor to the right if a character has been printed in the
rightmost position (causing a wrap).  In other words, screen thinks
that CursorRight won't cause a wrap.

Perhaps someone can explain to me why screen insists on repositioning
the cursor to the right hand column after a wrap has occurred?
