Indeed, there are several levels of 'vt100' emulation you find in the world.
First, there are emulations which suffice for VI, and simpler Unix termcap-
users.  Then you get the ones which can cope with GNU emacs, which wants to
do fancy things and has some understanding of the VT100 over and above termcap
(I think, I can only say what it sends, not what its e-lisp does).  The third
level is enough for almost everyone, in that DEC's VMS editors really need
some mapping of the VT100 keypad to the PC.  The ultimate test of a VT100 (or
at least the best one I know) is an ITS.  It *really* likes to use scrolling
regions...
