I first experienced it with an xterm running on a local X server; since it was so long ago I assume my terminal type was set to 'xterm'. Last week I reproduced it by ssh'ing in from a MacOS X 'Terminal' with my term type set to 'xterm-color'. I never had a terminal type on which I couldn't reproduce it, so didn't think to include that information in the bug; sorry for the oversight. Bill
