I have an IBM 3194 Display Station which emulates a VT100 or a VT52,
and I can't seem to get GNU EMACS running (I'm connected to a Pyramid).

Here's what happens:

I type 'gnuemacs' and I get a combination of junk and characters that
come from the standard opening screen (mostly junk).  Nothing is
positioned properly...and it's altogether unusable.

I create a 1-line .emacs file with '(term-script "./foo")' or whatever
the exact syntax is...and that is supposed to copy to a file whatever is
being sent to my screen.  Now I re-execute 'gnuemacs' and still get junk.
But I start editing files, splitting screens, scrolling, and so on...even
though I can't see anything happening.  Now I exit.

Finally, I 'cat foo'...and it CORRECTLY plays my entire GNU session as it
should have looked!  I can see exactly what I should have been able to see
while in GNU.

Any ideas?
