In porting sc (the Spreadsheet Calculator from comp.sources.unix) to
Ultrix some time back, I ran across a problem with the nonl() function.
Ultrix seems to have problems outputting things correctly when CR-LF
mapping isn't done.  If you have any calls to nonl(), try taking them
out and see if it does the trick.

Only one highlighting mode?  You mean there is more than one way to do reverse
video?  Or are you talking about another attribute (like bold text)?
