First of all, I withdraw my comments adding to the flame on the request
for information on the simulator package.  I have to admit it was
something of a knee-jerk reaction at the time, and I'm sorry if I assumed
something that wasn't so.

Secondly on VT100 emulation: yes, the lack of escape sequences for insert
and delete character is a drawback.  The VT200-series terminals provide this,
plus other goodies, so maybe this is the direction future emulators will take.

I'm not sure I understand the objections to the way insert and delete line
work.  Certainly these functions are linked to the scroll region, but it
doesn't need to be set up specifically, so far as I know.
