Summary: 

Problem: cursor positioning just leaves "2J"s on the screen.

	This happens if you are using a vt-100/ansi escape sequences.
(I know, It had me puzzled for a while too.) The root of the problem
is with a set of arrays (of size 4 bytes, I believe) that are supposed
to hold the vital termcap entries.  Unfortunatly, they are too small
to hold the ansi escape sequences.  You can try the vt-52 versions, if
your terminal accepts them, or you can just make the arrays a bit
larger.  Sorry about the vagueness, but I no longer have the original
trek programs. (I hacked all of the cursor stuff out, and used
libcurses. This works MUCH faster for 1200 baud lines.)
