Are you turning off the Smartcom menu bar at the bottom of the screen?
I have had luck emulating a vt100 on a V7/4.2 machine this way.

You have to choose DIRECT as opposed to FORMATTED i/o (i can't remember
what their term for it is, but it is done by editing the PARAMETERS
of the SET something or other).

Failing that, then I don't know what the problem is.

I hope this vagary helps.
