I'm looking for a solution to a problem with the way emacs updates
the terminal screen that's very annoying.  My emacs version is 18.51;
the terminal is an hp2392a.

When I'm in my top window on the top line and press C-p to scroll up
one line, the status line and lower window (if any) jumps up ~10 lines
and then jumps down.  I get the same behavior when on the bottom line
using C-n to scroll down.  C-v and M-v do not cause this behavior.
I suspect that there is some terminal capability that hasn't been defined
(uses TERMINFO, not TERMCAP), or emacs is not configured correctly.
I don't use a .emacs file.  Any clues as to what I might try?

Thanks,
Jim Stratton
