If you want to be able to move the mouse to a given location by pointing
and clicking, or you want proper VT100 emulation, you might try VersaTerm.
The mouse cursor control is flexible (it can send arrow key sequences,
emacs sequences, or one other kind). I've never seen its VT100 emulation
get confused by a VAX (and that says a lot -- a VAX really challenges
VT100 emulators).

VersaTerm costs about $100, and included VT100, VT220, and Tek 4014
(bitmapped graphics) emulation. It supports the comm. toolbox.
It's one of the best programs I've seen, and has great support.

Sorry if I got carried away. If anybody has used both recent versions of
MacTerminal and VersaTerm, I'd love to see a comparison.
