I've tested them and checked DEC documentation to see if these () features are also available for the real VT100: they are. Your terminal () may require delay settings on some of these. Here's the new entries: () () al=\E[L:dl=\E[M:dc=\E[P:im=\E[4h:ei=\E[4l:mi: Nice to see that your Visual 603 supports these, but a Digital VT100 (you remember? the black-and-white thing controlled by a real 8080) does NOT support any of these control sequences. Better add a separate entry for these capabilities and call it vt102 (the VT102 is the most well-known DEC terminal that DOES support these sequences). If you do the change as suggested, you will render your systems unusable for owners of real VT100s (or of real VT100 emulators). I'd really like to see the DEC documentation you cite (definitely not the documentation for the old 1978 vintage VT100).
