Nope; VT100s do *not* have add and delete line capabilities.  I both checked
the documentation and went over to the VT100 in the next room to verify that
documentation matched reality.  (VT102s are, of coures, another story.)

To duplicate the test: 
	* find yourself a Digital-Equipment-Corporation-built VT100
	* go into SET-UP mode
	* put the terminal in LOCAL mode
	* get out of SET-UP mode
	* type
		<ESC> # 8
	  to fill the screen with capital Es
	* Move the cursor to the middle of the screen
	* and type
		<ESC> [ L
	  and note that no blank line appears.
