Subject: Terminal settings

2 days ago, my pine and pico screens have developed a config problem.
The address header, when entering data, e n t e r s   l i k e  t h i s .
Only after clearing the screen with cntrl-L does it reduce to normal.

The toolbar footer (with "get help, exit," etc.,) has spaces entered
between the "^" symbol and the menu letter.  For example, "^G Get Help"
is now "^   G   Get Help".

The cursor, when typing, tends to stay one line below the actual type.
And the text just typed disappears until cntrl-L is used.

The entire left side of the screen is indented 5 spaces.  This causes
long text to wrap around, and causes the toolbar itself to wrap around,
making it almost unreadable.  The only characters which get aligned 
properly (all the way to the left side) are those that are wrap-arounds
of long text.  Hitting return just puts you at the 5-space indent again.

I am using dos comit, vt100, on a shell account. I have been using this
setup with two separate isp's (both running pine) for 8 months with no 
problem.  Only 2 days ago did the one isp develop this pine situation.
The other isp still works fine, so the problem is not with my system.
The problem isp says nothing is wrong with their pine overall.  And when
I use other programs with the problem isp (such as lynx,) they work fine.

Is it possible that my pine user settings have been altered for my account?
TIA,
Bryan
