As quoted from <19217 at adm.BRL.MIL> by thoyt at ddn-wms.arpa (Thomas Hoyt):

| I am having difficulties using the screen window manager utility mentioned
| in this publication earlier this week. I am running under Sun Unix 4.2.
|
| What's more irritating, the same thing happens in vi. When I do a page down
| or several returns, the editor starts zipping down the file helter-skelter.
| From what I can deduce, something(?) is sending these two programs "60"<CR>
| over and over, as if it were coming from my terminal. Returning to the
| shell ends this input.
+---------------
Are you by any chance using a Wyse 60 terminal? If so, make sure that your
termcap isn't trying to send the sequence <ESC><SPACE>. (ESC SPACE means
"identify terminal" to Wyse terminals; the response is (model-number) <CR>.)
