No, it's not a bug with a standard vt100, but all of the programs you
mentioned ( MacTerminal, Versaterm) actually support vt102.  A vt100
does not have some of the features.  I'm afraid that RR7.0 supports
vt100 quite faithfully, but doesn't support some of the modes we expect from 
a 'vt100' emulation.  I've been experimenting with it a little, it works
with a 'plain vanilla' vt100 termcap, one without any of the insert modes
we have become accustomed to expect.  If you take all of the vt102 features
out of your termcap (ic, im, ie, al, dl, dc, AL, DL) you'll find it 
works ok.  I won't bother, just keep using MacTerminal.
