- 1. Maybe the terminfo- and/or termcap-entry for the Wyse 50 is not set
- up properly on your System. In this case other programs will
- 'flicker' too.
-
- 2. Maybe the Handshaking Host-Terminal is not set up properly
-
- 3. Maybe the program is not well-written (some terminal-dependent
- codings inside?)
