Thank you so much. I had played a little with horizontal shift without
luck. I tried the auto config menu item and it worked to bring all the
terminals into line. Not sure why the GUI was fine and the terminals
were so far off, however it not only fixed it but it stayed fix through
a reboot. I was afraid I was going to have to play with getty and it has
been decades since I had to play with that.
                         Thanks Again
