Take a look at PC-VT, published by Athena Systems Development Group.  It
does the best vt-100 emulation I have ever seen.  It also has modes for 
VMS or Unix hosts, supports EDT and EVE editors under VMS, VI under
Unix.  The emulation also lets you redefine all function and editing
keys to send text or escape sequences of up to 50 characters.  The
program can also emulate a VT-52, VT-102, Tektronix 4010 and 4014.  The
address is:

	Athena Systems Development Group
	PO Box 26062
	San Diego, CA   92120-0062

	(619) 549-4056

They have a shareware version for $ 35, and a fuller-featured version
for about $ 99.  We use both here with no problems.
