Probably a terminfo problem. Your terminal may have auto-wrap (auto-margins) and terminfo says it doesn't, or vice verse. Also make sure that you do have the right terminfo entry: if you set term to "linux" its terminfo entry says it has 25 lines. Mike. -- Miquel van | Cistron Internet Services -- Alphen aan den Rijn.
