There was a well-known bug that limited you to a *60* line display, but that was fixed in OSx 3.1 for the DMD5620, which features a 70 line display. We also have people using large Mac II windows that are otherwise VT-100, and I think they'd have noticed this problem a long time ago. I don't have a 32-line VT-100 to try it on, but right off I'd be suspicious of your Mac VT-100 emulation software having trouble with the change-scroll- region escape sequence.
