In my original message I mentioned "resuming" after a suspend and didn't
mention 'fg' explicitly, so that was probably the problem. Anyway yes
this is precisely the problem.

Yes, from the behavior, I'd say that is what it is doing. Any
suggestions? Should I try adding another condition to the VMS and SLANG
(SNAKE, I guess) to LYKrefresh so that clearok(curscr, TRUE) gets set for
HP? If that works, then I guess you'd have to refresh manually upon
fg'ing... It seems that if this were the problem that going to another
page (backing up, selecting a link, paging down) or anything else which
should completely redraw the screen would fix things, but it doesn't.

It's possible. :)
