When the discussion about the lack of
vt52 keypad sequences on the ST first
came up, the Atari reps replied that
there WAS no vt52 keypad.  I sent one
of them transcriptions of the appro-
priate pages from the vt-100 & DEC EDT
manuals, explaining both the codes 
produced and the physical layout of the
vt52 keypad.  I presume they never 
have seen a real, live, vt52 (I know
I havn't).  I don't know if the Heath-19
(a vt52 workalike, w/ the addition of
an insert/delete line code) has a keypad.
perhaps that is what they were working
from.  Anyway.... Atari has had the info
passed to them & are aware that they
left something (well, not really VITAL)
out of their vt52 emulation.  Whether
they are going to do something about it
is still unknown.  The only reply I 
recieved is an acknowledgement of my
message, with no real info about whether
any action would be taken in future 
ROMS.
