> ...complaints about vt100 emulator...

Under SR9.7, With the exception of the hang-up bug (below), I have
found that vi and the emulator work fine the way I use them:  I either
use vi in a raw DM window, or I always use the -STD option to VT100 and
make sure the window is large enough.

The "hang-up" bug that I know of is this: you can't icon a window in which
vi, more, or any other screen oriented/curses type program is running, or
else another invocation of any other of those programs will hang.  Simply
un-icon to turn things loose.  Ugly, but workaroudable.  Apollo told me
soon after we installed SR9.5 (I think that was where they broke it -- about
a year ago) that it was a "known problem."
