Subject: Possible WS 4.0 bug

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that I may have found a possible
bug in WS 4.0.

I have just finished installing the new WS for a multiuser system that
we have here at our college.  Because we have an oddball selection of
terminals (some new and some old), I had to take the lowest common
denominator for the monitor selection.  The old terminals (Mime 2A's)
have problems with line insert and delete control codes, and thus
I had to install it without those codes.  Seemed to work fine until I noticed
that the screen didn't update correctly when I was in the middle of
an already present paragraph and added some more text until the word
wrapped.  The word just typed appeared in the right place, along
with the text that was trailing it, but the line that was below it stayed
in the same place and did not move down like it should.  Hope you
can follow that (!).  In any case, it seemed that nothing I could install
for the terminal changed the situation.

It would seem that in a case like this that it would be the WRAP toggle,
in which the cursor does or does not move to the next line after a character
is written in the 80th position.  It was off like it should be (in my case).
Also, it works fine when the line insert and delete codes are installed,
but this only works on the other terminals, and not the Mimes.  Anybody
know what is going on, or did I overlook something?

Thanks for your help!
