ONLY ONE THING MUST DO:
QVT/Term->DefaultSettings->Display->Newline can use CRLF/LF/CR
It's all.

Yes, I've tried all three of those settings. It's currently on "LF", but that doesn't stop it from sending a "CR" character as well!

We do have a termcap file so I've assumed that's what I should be working from, but I notice that the information in there doesn't match the compiled data in /usr/share/lib/terminfo/*. Is there another source file somewhere?

The most obvious solution is, as suggested, use a better terminal emulator, but the customer is refusing that one.

captoinfo

captoinfo(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     captoinfo(1M)

NAME

       captoinfo - convert a termcap description into a terminfo description

SYNOPSIS

       captoinfo [-1] [-v...] [-V] [-w width] filename...

DESCRIPTION

       captoinfo  looks in filename for  termcap descriptions. For each one found, an equivalent  terminfo description is written to standard out-
       put, along with any comments found. A description which is expressed as relative to another description (as specified in the termcap  tc  =
       field) is reduced to the minimum superset before being displayed.

       If no  filename is given, then the environment variable TERMCAP is used for the filename or entry. If TERMCAP is a full pathname to a file,
       only the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable TERM is extracted from that file. If the environment variable TERMCAP
       is not set, then the file /usr/share/lib/termcap is read.

OPTIONS

       -1	       Display	the  fields one to a line. Otherwise, the fields are printed several to a line, with a maximum width of 60 charac-
		       ters.

       -v	       Display tracing information on the standard error as the program runs.  Specifying  additional  -v  options  displays  more
		       detailed information.

       -V	       Display the version of the program in use on the standard error and then exit.

       -w width        Change the output to width characters.

FILES

       /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/*     compiled terminal description database

       /usr/share/lib/termcap

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWcsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       infocmp(1M), curses(3CURSES), terminfo(4), attributes(5)

NOTES

       captoinfo  should  be  used  to	convert  termcap  entries  to  terminfo entries because the termcap database may not be supplied in future
       releases.
