Forgive me if this has already been found, but I just came across the
problem with my new terminal, an Adds Regent 20.
In version B 2.10.2 (dated 9/18/84), if your terminal has auto-wrap mode
(that is, if you space to column 80, and then one more, it automatically
goes to column 1 of the next line), it seems you have to set your screen
size to X-1 (I have to set my 80 column terminal's termcap to 79 when
using this version of VNEWS). If you don't? When VNEWS tries do use the
direct-addressing + Erase-to-End-Of-Line stuff (to clear out the stuff
past read) it misses a lot of stuff, leaving garbage on the screen.
