The problem is that the ANSI mode is based on VT100 ANSI, which is
missing some things, most notably insert and delete character
capability. What there should be, in EMACS as well as in operating
systems, is an ANSI terminal type which takes advantage of insert
and delete character capabilities of terminals which aren't as
brain-damaged as VT100's. As far as I know, ANSI support on everything
around here is based on VT100.
