Hi,
  I have been having a problem with trying to run programs like vi
on other systems from my Apollo workstation. Basically, what I recently
tried doing was:

  1) vt100                 <-enter the vt100 emulator.
  2) crp -on e4c0 -me      <-move over to a node that has telnet running
  3) telnet bozo           <-connect to another node (in this case a Sun)
  4) login to bozo
  5) tset vt100            <-set terminal type to vt100
  6) set term=vt100        <-   ""
  7) vi test.c

Now, the screen addressing seems to work ok and the file loads up ok, but
I am still in a mode where I have to enter a return after each command I
want to execute (i.e. the j,k,l,h, etc keys...) There must be some way of
getting the vt100 emulator to transmit a character at a time, but I am at
a loss as to how to do this! It isn't anything related to the system I log
into, but rather the emulator (or telnet), buffering by line. Has  anyone
else had this problem and solved it? Also, the Apollo appears to be sending
a cr/lf pair (which screws up other screen programs...)
