VI uses CS to simulate line insert and delete functions (which the VT100 does not have). This works fine except that sysline, any program that uses vt100-s, or other terminals that have CS and more or less than 24lines, will screw-up. The fix is to change VI in the source to use the LI termcap entry rather than the hardwired 24 lines. Even this may not be enough since vt100-s simulates the status line on top by changing the scrolling region to 2-24. The vt100-s-bot may work, however. It is just messy to simulate status lines with CS since CS is so useful for other things. Cheers, Dan Ts'o ...cmcl2!rna!dan
