Brilliant, that does it! Now if only I could get delete to work... 
*sigh*. It amazes me that it can be this hard to get two different unix 
boxes to talk to each other, especially with all the termcap/terminfo 
magic that's (I thought) supposed to handle all this automatically.

So does Netterm, a telnet client that all the staff here use. I even 
tried using its fonts to no avail - seems gnome-terminal is somewhat 
brain-dead wrt to ANSI line chars.
