:an XT sometime. It aint fun! 

VMS EDIT uses vt-100 cursor tricks that most programs that claim to
emulate a vt-100 do not handle properly, including all the well known
ones.

A number of people use Pro-YAM or ZCOMM to access VAX systems without
problems.  According to numerous reports, they are the only general
purpose comm programs whose vt100 emulation is close enough for this
application.
