Fallout 2: How do I move the caravan on?

I'm playing Fallout 2 at the moment. I've just agreed to escort a
caravan from A to B. We left, and before long, were intercepted. It
turns out the interceptors were rangers, so I talked to them and they
let me pass, I just walked to the red section at the edge of the
screen and the caravan moved on.

Again, shortly, we were intercepted again, only this time by hostile
mutants. I fought them, killed them all, and have saved. Now, if I go
to the red section at the edge of the screen I leave the caravan. How
do I get the caravan to move on?

It's a bug. No fix. Welcome to gaming by gamers.
