Speaking of which .. joe works fine locally but it does not over a telnet
session .. the first screen displayed is offset by one character to the
right. The whole screen :-( The only fix is to use control-R to redraw,
after which it's fine.

What is this .. a bug in joe, a termcap problem or a flow-control issue ?
