Has anyone done a VT300 series terminal entry for termcap.dat?  I tried
putting one into termcap.dat, but I keep getting a message about
my terminal not being recognized when emacs starts up.  I put a VT102
entry into it some time ago and that worked so I tho't I understood what
was involved.  I am running version 18.53 on a VMS 5.2 system if that
matters.   Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ps.  I do know about defining the logical emacs_term and tried that.  But
     it still didn't recognize the terminal.  I even tried defining the
     logical to vt102 just to see if it would recognize *something*, but
     to no avail.   Yet if I set my terminal type in VMS to /dev=vt102,
     emacs recognizes me just fine.   I would prefer not having to switch
     back and forth if I can avoid it.   Thanks again.
