As I understand it, the vt240 emulates a vt100 or a vt52, with the
addition of some goodies.  I'm not real familiar with dec's terminals,
but we just use the vt100 termcap entry for our vt240's.  I think this
does everything it needs to, but maybe I'm missing out on something
by telling it I'm a vt100, not a vt240.

What you are missing is the insert/delete features a la vt131.
This is what we are using for vt240's.  (Our vt220 and vt131 termcaps
are identical except for the name.)

Note that this is for a vt240 running in vt100 mode.
