Robert -

Unfortunately, there is no method available for permitting the vt100
emulator to support a "scroll-back" facility as is available in the
display manager transcript pad.  Since your article mentions xterm, I
will assume that you have it available for your users, and would encourage
you to base a solution on replacing vt100 with xterm for your users.
