As it turns out, MINIX provides enough ANSI escape sequences to make it look sort of
like a VT100. 

If you set the TERM variable in .profile to vt100, and then do a $SET TERM/DEV=VT100
on the VMS system, it works well enough to use editors etc.

	(from minix sh)
		set TERM=vt100
		export TERM

Thanks to Dave Wecker for the help.
