I could have sworn there was but I can't find it in the commands or in
the code. There is a command:

set terminal cr-display { cr, crlf }

to handle bare incoming carriage returns, but none for bare incoming
linefeeds. Then looking through my notes, I realize I meant to add it quite
some time ago, when the same thing happened to me when I was typing directly
at a PostScript interpreter. So OK, I moved this item up towards the top of
the list.

In the meantime, if you're a C programmer, the modification to ckucns.c
should be pretty straightforward, it would be right here, about line 2246:

if (c == CR && tt_crd) { /* SET TERM CR-DISPLA CRLF? */
ckcputc(c); /* Yes, output CR */
if (seslog && !sessft) logchar((char)c);
c = LF; /* and insert a linefeed */
}

Just stuff a CR before passing on the LF:

if (c == LF && tt_crd) { /* SET TERM CR-DISPLA CRLF? */
ckcputc(CR); /* Yes, output CR first */
if (seslog && !sessft) logchar((char)CR);
}

bearing in mind that then you will have a hacked version in which SET TERM
CR-DISPLAY really means SET TERM LF-DISPLAY. When the next release (or daily
edit) appears, it will have the new command and you can throw your version out
and use the new one.

Thank you for this quick&dirty hack help. It does just what I wanted!
