That makes perfect sense. Thanks Thomas, I'll look into it.

Now you've said it, a few pennies are starting to drop. It looks as
though most of the time it's the local end that's getting it wrong -
Emacs usually seems to know where the cursor should be, but the xterm
doesn't - but it's not always that way, which could explain the screwy
nature of the problem and why the cause isn't as clear as it might be.
It probably means I'd be better off running Emacs locally on the
remote file rather than running emacs remotely on the same file.
Unfortunately it's often a remote application that's starting Emacs
for me, but I can easily get around that.
Thanks again.
73,
Ged.
