A comment in the NeXT vt100 termcap entry says the vt100 entry
modified to support the NeXT Terminal program, implying it's not quite
a vt100 emulator. Presumably they'll fix the emulator. In the mean
time one can copy the termcap entry from the NeXT to the system you
rlogin to. (Hopefully it's UNIX).

We've discovered no way to get a Terminal window of a different size.
It would be nice if NeXT would combine Shell and Terminal in the way
Sun did, along with the termcap hack to support various size windows.
