Suns (at least not yet) don't run Berkeley UNIX.  They run some
varient of SunOS which is (increasingly less) based on Berkeley UNIX.

Which standard emacs is that?  :-)

Neither fterm or ftek are VT100 emulators.  Fterm is your best bet, but
don't tell SunOS you're a vt100 (because you're not).  Tell it your
terminal type is ``amiga''.  If you're using SunOS 4, you're all set
(in fact, this is the setup I'm using right now).

If you're still using SunOS 3, get the amiga termcap posted to
comp.sources.amiga (available from xanth.cs.odu.edu as
/usenet/comp.sources.amiga/volume90/unix/amiga.tc-1.2.Z), uncompress
it, save it in a file (say, ``~/amiga.tc''), then:

	setenv TERMCAP ~/amiga.tc
	set term=amiga
	tset

(this assumes you use csh.  The ~/ is important, as the TERMCAP
variable must begin in a / for this to work; echo $TERMCAP to check).

Ask your local UNIX wizard for assistance.
