Not exactly. The cursor does move down one line and to the far left but
no CR/LF is transmitted.

Hmm, I can't quite visualize what is going on. Is this your own home

Are you in char mode or block mode?
Are you doing single char reads?
Is the record width of the port still 80 bytes?
Have you set alternate EOR chars?
