Well, let's make it a configurable item.  So we can specify in
the vt100.init file if DTR should be turned off upon exit.

I would also like to see a configurable item for an initial startup
script.  I have modified my vt100 version 2 so that it will automatically
use vt100.startup.script if it exists.  So now I have a disk that will
boot up go into Weckers vt100 program and call work.  Now I need to
add a BEEP function to script.c so that I will get beeped when the
connection has been established.

I don't have my mod for vt100.startup.script with me but it's a
fairly simple few lines added to vt100.c .  I think it would be
better though to make it configurable in the vt100.init file.

I can't wait for version 3!
