I'm not sure such a thing is possible - TERMINAL doesn't recognize
any of the escape codes that control a VT300/VT400 status line.

Are you sure that termcap has a provision for emulating status
lines on terminals that don't have one?  It's been a while since
I've looked at the termcap specs, but I don't recall such a capability
from when I looked at them several years ago ... though it could
certainly have been added since then.
