Well I haven't had the opportunity to test this feature but the terminal
emultator that has done a FLAWLESS (no kidding) job with vt-100 emultation
(Red Ryder doesn't come close!!) is the Terminal DA (I have version 1.5).

We customized our termcaps down on our 6 BSD Unix machines to do PERFECT vt-220
emultation for a number of screen routines we are working on.  Terminal DA
works perfectly with them.  It has an incredable character set and some other
nice features.  Yes, it is only a DA meaning it has: no macros, no neat Red
Ryder features but I always do my work on Terminal and then move to Red Ryder
or MacKermit to do file transfers, etc.

Hope this helps,

p.s. I think we got it from the mac.binaries a couple of months ago.
