While I don't know if this option applies to ProTerm, the solution I used
(a number of years ago) was to define a TERMCAP entry for a "raw" //e and
then turn off any emulations ASCII Express Pro might use.

In addtion to this, I turned on maximum CR and NL delays using the stty
command.  While you should consult the relavent manual entries (start with
stty), I can suggest trying:

	stty nl1 cr3

It may be that this will be sufficient for your needs.

To use the //e TERMCAP entry, put the following in your .profile or .login
file in your home directory:

TERM=a2e
TERMCAP=`cat $HOME/termcap.a2e`


You shoudl put the following in the file $HOME/termcap.a2e

2e|ap2e|apple 2e:\
	:cd=^K:cl=^l:ce=^]:\
	:ho=^Y:cm=^^%r%+ %+ :nd=^\:se=^N:so=^O:\
	:sr=^_:sf=^J^@^@^_:kl=^H:kd=^J:ku=^K:kr=^U:kb=^?:nl=^J:\
	:do=^J:bl=^G:bs:co#80:li#24:cr=^M^_:up=^_:

Good luck.
