Will it support the VT100 application keypad?
(that's where the keypad keys have their codes changed by request of the
host computer, so it can distinguish them from the number keys on 
the top row).

I'm looking for a good VT100 emulator for a Kaypro 2.
It has to have application keypad support.
It doesn't need file transfer, just good emulation.

Any suggestions?
