Of course, the easy answer is to dump Ispell and use VED (you are a Ved owner,
aren't you?).

Seriously , I don't think that the problem(s) are with SCREEN. More likely
it is with the pty manager/driver. These are not very solid... I just noticed
that when doing a readln() under screen/ptyman the incorrect number of
characters read is returned when doing a ctrl-a. I know this isn't the problem
you are talking about...but I suspect similar problems.

However, I must add that I use SCREEN very regularly on my other system (on a
terminal) and have had really no problems. I did add a few more items to the
termcap entry (Bell is one, if I recall correctly). Guess I should upload this
one of these days.

Tell you what, I'm going to try to figure out how ptyman works. If I can figure
out the bug there...I'll put a package together. Of course, if there are any
volunteers who wish to do this for me....

BTW, Ken could help on this project by letting us know how data is written to
the screen. write() or writeln() or buffer i/o? Is Ispell sending CRs, LFs or
combinations?
