We have some Visual Technology 603's, emulating a vt100, and
they don't seem to do very well with GNUemacs.  Whenever I try
to scrolling, the scroll takes place and I am placed in
'I-search'.  It seems to only happen when the cursor is on the top
or bottom line of the editing window.  The status line at the bottom
of the screen reads:

I-search: ^Q-

It definately is 'I-search' because any characters I type are found, if
they exist, meaning that ^Q- is ignored!

Other terminals, also emulating a vt100, seem to work fine. I think
something needs to be done with the Visual terminal, or the terminfo entry
to remedy this problem.  I would appreciate any help in this matter.

Incidently we are running GNUemacs Version 18.54.2 on an IRIS 4D/70.


Thank you,
