I've used PC-Anywhere with Televideo terminals (ver 2.14 and ver 3.00)
I don't know about the Amiga package your using, but some VT-100 
emulators don't work the same. On one of our Unix systems here, Kermit-PC
generates the proper characters to position the cursor. Procom 2.45 
however does not properly emulate the down and up arrow keys. Procomm Plus
ver 1.00 does not emulate the up,down,right,left arrows properly either. So
there may be a minor problem with your terminal emulation. PC-Anywhere is
very flexible though. Well, just some input, may not be what you're looking 
for.
