I'd like to add here, that Wecker's VT100 program does REVERSE INDEX
properly within a scrolling region.  Both commercial VT100 emulators
that I have tried (MaxiComm & Online!) fail to do this correctly.

In my work I often have to use a program called "browse" which lets
us scroll up and down through a text file (sort of like vi).  The program
works fine on all VT100's and almost all VT100 compatible terminals.
But the program fails to work correctly with most terminal emulators.
I was *very* happily surprised to find that Wecker's program
worked with this program.

By the way there was a VT100 compatibility tester program posted
in net.sources recently.  I couldn't get it to compile on my
SYS V unix.  If anyone has a version that works or compiles in SYS V,
I'd sure appreciate a copy.
