You set *their* environment variable? If it thinks it's a Wyse-60, it will expec scan-code mode. If it thinks it's an SCO console, it will expect scan code mode an support of the "ESC [ 10 m", "ESC [ 11 m", and "ESC [ 12 m" SCO console extended character set selection (we partly support the second, but we don't support scan code mode at all). The Wyse-50 is naturally flakey because a real Wyse-50, like a real Televideo 925, which it is a superset of, does not support non-spacing attribute selection for other than field protection designation. The correct way to do "standout" in a default Wyse-50 termcap is to use "protect on/protect off", but *do NOT* enable protection, so it is just a display attribute. Then hit "shift-break" and set the protect attribute to "reverse field" instead of "dim". Fix your termcap appropriately.
