The problem isn't with QCTerm or Qedit, it's with your current version of
telnet software that you have on your HP3000. The version you have, at no
extra charge, and without asking, strips the LF off of the CRLF pair that
QCTerm is transmitting to the HP3000. Because of this, Qedit objects, saying
that the transfer was suspect because it never saw a LF, and thus won't save
your modifications.

This problem has been fixed in the beta versions of the new telnet patch, but
that won't do you any good today. In the interim, Robelle has reworked Qedit
so that you can type in the phrase:

     set vi ignorelf on

(or something very close to that; look it up in your help to be sure) and
have Qedit properly ignore the missing LF's.

At that point, you should be cooking.
