I've run into  wrap around problems with the  wsh  terminal window when
telnet-ed to VAX/VMS (probably would get this with other machines).  When-
ever a line of text is equal to the wsh window with (typically 80 chars),
wsh puts in a <CR><LF> in preparation for window wraping.  Can this be
turned off?  The problem is very bad when using a editor that writes in
the 80th column; instead of seeing 22 lines, I see 11 with the other 11
scrolled off the screen.  I've managed to use the VMS edt editor via
the SGI keyboard's keypad, but the display isn't that close to VT100-ish.
Maybe all of this could be solved by making SGI's wsh run in some VT100-
ish mode.  Most of the VT100 escape sequence seem to work.  One work 
around is using the X-windows which are VT100 compatible, but I'd preferr
to not have to run Xsgi and an xterm if wsh could emulate a VT100.

Thanks for any forth coming thoughts,  Bernie
