ssh to windows, terminal doesn't work.

[Peter Silva]

I enabled ssh server on a windows desktop, and I can now ssh to it from my
ubuntu laptop, and run cmd.exe, powershell and bash (WSL) which all work
fine, except that in none of them do terminal applications work properly.
*man* shows me the the first page, and then subsequent pages are scrunched
on the last line.  vim does very weird stuff.  the whole window goes blank
when I delete a line, ^L brings it back, but the cursor is always off by
one line.  it's unusable.

I tried asking on an MS forum, no response so far.  Any ideas what to look
at?
