I use the VT-100 emulation and it works fine.  I was using a different
mode (ANSI-BBS) for a while and had problems like you are describing.
By the way, when I had this problem the characters were NOT being erased
but only disappearing from the screen (hidden somehow).  They appeared
when I saved the file and read it again.
