This was a topic raised previously by Andrew Sayer and then Chris
Glur, I think, though your symptoms may be different. If $TERM is
linux then Ved does not have a proper screen setup file.
There are two solutions.
1. Before you start up pop-11/Ved etc. do
setenv TERM xterm
or the equivalent in bash or whatever shell you are using.
Then everything seems to work for some people, though I
seem to recall someone saying that the screen management onthe
linux non-X console was not always exactly the same.
Changing the value of $TERM may interfere with some other utilities,
so you may prefer the next option:
2. Try Andrew's linux/Ved package (1381 bytes):
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/linuxterm.tar.gz
The files are also browsable here
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/linuxterm
It includes a README file which elaborates.
If that does not fix your problem it may provide clues as to what
to try changing.
