The disk your directory is on filled up yesterday, too (it's fixed now).
The WARNING about terminal scrollback is usually indicative of bad terminal
type settings.

The terminal type is set to "3101" which is included in that long
list. What is scrollback anyway?

Okay, what have you done to Grex and why is it unbearably slow?

Wow, do you actually have an IBM 3101? I used to love those things.
They don't have scrollback. They are really quite stupid. What program
generates these messages? A well-written program ought to be able to
work on a compuer without scrollback, although perhaps slowly. I guess
most people these days have something that does vt100 emulation, and
some programmers have allowed themselves to get excessively used to
that.

I think "less" generates that message. I've seen it when trying to run bbs
from a connection where I got terminal type "unknown" set for various dumb
reasons.

I think you can get rid of it by setting your pager to 'more'.

Actually I have a 3101 program for the PC. If you set terminal=dumb,
you get four or five lines of those messages all the time. What is it
trying to do and why bother? I think the Termcaps file is set up wrong
for the 3101. I'd like to switch programs, but it's the only one I have
that doesn't use an error correcting protocol.

Grex was so s-l-o-w about 10:15 this morning that I had to log off.

I have a 3151. They're nearly as stupid, and emulate a number of
currently unsupported terminal types, including ADM terminals.
