Is the program QEDIT?

If so, when QCTerm or Minisoft send back a CRLF sequence, telnet strips off
the trailing LF. Unfortunately, QEDIT looks for the LF and objects if it
doesn't see it.

The problem has now been fixed at both ends. Robelle fixed the problem at
their end, in QEDIT by allowing you to set a flag when using telnet. The
command is something like:

     set vi ignorelf

If that's not the correct sequence, you can find the appropriate command in
your documentation. The problem has also been fixed on the HP3000, although
you don't have the correcting code yet. The telnet client software on the
HP3000 no longer strips the LF off of a CRLF pair. This change should appear
in MPE/iX 6.0 PP1 or PP2.
