(2) underline_char
the underline echos as a space when actually typed on line (1) but then
changes to an underline when I hit return and line (2) appears. Line
(2) displays properly.
What's going on? How can it be fixed?

My terminal program does not leave any room below the
last screen line and the window frame. Underscores
typed on the last line are masked by the window frame.
Underscores display properly on lines above the last line.
I see the same results you do. Line 2 appears
normal because the shell prompt bumps line 2
off the last line.
