First of all, I withdraw my comments adding to the flame on the request for information on the simulator package. I have to admit it was something of a knee-jerk reaction at the time, and I'm sorry if I assumed something that wasn't so. Secondly on VT100 emulation: yes, the lack of escape sequences for insert and delete character is a drawback. The VT200-series terminals provide this, plus other goodies, so maybe this is the direction future emulators will take. I'm not sure I understand the objections to the way insert and delete line work. Certainly these functions are linked to the scroll region, but it doesn't need to be set up specifically, so far as I know. Jeff. (Disclaimer: These views are my own)

The Commodore 1670 Modem includes a VT100 emulator that supports the keypad and works with EDT and similar VMS editors. Most software VT100 emulators actually include the VT132 insert/delete line escape sequencs. Perhaps you could ask someone at DEC why they consider these 'advanced features' 8-) -- George Robbins - now working with, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|caip}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
