     Having just become the proud owner of a true blue, unadauterated,
DEC VT-100 AA terminal, I have a few questions:

	1)  Does the blasted thing support any handshaking other than
		XON/XOFF?  DTR is apparently not used.  I cannot
believe that DEC would build a mainframe terminal with no hardware
handshaking!

	2) How do you write to the 25th line on the thing?  Or does it
have one?  I remember that there was an "advanced graphics option (
NOT REGIS )" for the VT-100.  Does that support it?

							Thank you.
