Hello all.

First, the good news:  as new elm users, we this is truely fine software.
Thanks to the Development Team!

We are having one problem: as a mixed computing enviroment, we have all flavors
of terminals.  Elm seems to mis-paint a DEC vt220 screen, almost as though it
can't see the first couple of tabs.  (It all goes thataway ->>!)

If we setenv TERM vt100, all is well, regardless of the actual setting of the
220...

Is this a real problem, or have we missed something?  (Rob- I *did* RTFM: I
didn't see any references...)  We've only been up about 24 hours, so forgive
me if we've missed something obvious.

Thanks!
