- Sorry :-) I can't confirm: I tried to do the steps listed above, and the result
- was correct WITH 'VI': but if you use emacs the 'bug' appear, but it's an
- emacs' bug; since emacs doesn't make use of the 'stty rows' feature it needs
- that someone create an environment variable LINES (LINES=30; export LINES).
- I think this will work.
- NOTE: I'm working with TCP/IP 1.2.1 and NO CSD applied.

- I also tried this, but everything worked fine; maybe this is a CSD problem or
- some setting in your window...
