i wonder if the problem is freevt3k. i (think i) remember trying freevt3k and it seems to me it's pretty bare bones. have you tried running a block-mode program? i wonder if you'll get the same results.... - d

But I am not connecting to the HP3000 via puTTY but rather by FREEVT3K
which is invoked on a Linux box inside the corporate firewall. It is the
Linux box which is serving the puTTY SSH connection. The HP3000 is
connected to the Linux session via NS/VT using FREEVT3K. The terminal
type that FREEVT3K seems to emulate is a VT102-24, at least that is what
POWERHOUSE QUICK thinks it is and as the terminal line drawing set is
properly displayed on the puTTY session I infer that QUICK is getting it
right.
My understanding is that QEDIT supports a SCREEN mode that allows visual
editing on VT100 style terminals without HP blockmode support and visual
editing in QEDIT is what I desire. I gave up trying to get vi on the HP
to create usable MPE files a long time ago.
So the two questions are: Does QEDIT 5.1 support non-blockmode visual
editing on VT100 style terminals and, if so, how do you tell QEDIT that
this is indeed the type of terminal you are using?
