I have Atari's VT100 emulator and it works pretty much like a true VT100
terminal (and I have seen a *real* VT100 terminal), even down to the set-up
screens, with the only major flaws being that the warning bell (^G passthru)
is only allowed if the margin bell (a bell EVERY time a line gets close to
the right edge of the screen) is selected.  Also, any term program should
offer the option of exchanging the functions of the delete and backspace keys
to be consistent with Atari-specific applications (after being online for a
while, using an ST word processor is hell!).
