I would have sent this from my personal accout, but am having disk
quota problems I still get mail though.
This is the documentation that goes with the vt100 terminal emulator
while it is valid for both versions, it has some references that will only
work for the version already set up for the 835/1030 modems and 850 inter-
face. I hope it works for you.

DOCUMENTATION FOR VT10SQ.OBJ
The VT-10sq. public domain terminal emulator allows the owners of a 1030,
835, and 850 interface with modem to emulate a VT-100 terminal with an 80 column
screen. The 80 column screen is quite readable on monocrome monitors, color
monitors with color off, and a good black and white televison set.
The file VT10SQ.OBJ should be downloaded then renamed autorun.sys. To use the
program XL & XE owners should boot the translator disk with the option key held
down. Then the disk with the autorun.sys file should be booted. 400/800
owners only need boot the autorun.sys file. The program then displays a title
page which is then followed by a menu page. The baud rate option is self
explanatory. The next option is "PROFS" or "DEC" these options select which
key combinations generate keys not on the ATARI. An example are the PF keys
which are used by mainframes to select options. The following tables describe
the key sequences used.
The DEC option allows the Atari to be used like a standard VT100 to get keys on
the VT100 keypad press ESC and then the key listed below. These keys are laid
out roughly like the VT100 keypad thus making the easier to remember.

Backspace........Delete/BS
Delete...........CTL-Delete/BS
Escape...........ESC ESC
Line feed........LOGO
Cursor control is normal<ctl-arrow>.
For Example: To generate a vt100 key-pad 4 press ESC A.
PROFS is a protocol developed at Yale University and is used by most IBM
mainframes. The chart below shows the PROFS' key, what you need to do to
generate it, the vt100 equivilent, and what is transmitted.

For Example: To generate a PA1 press ESC and then Q.
After that owners of modems which don't autodial dial the number then press the
START button. 1030 and 835 owners when start is pressed another prompt appears
asking which number to dial. Enter the number the desired and press return.
If later on another number is desired press SELECT and the program will return
to this page and request another number. All other modems must use the modem
commands in terminal mode.
Example:
A Hayes owner wishes to dial 555-6666. After pressing start he would type ATDP
555 6666 (or ATDT if using a Touch-Tone system). The terminal session begins
when the programs says Connect.
One final note this program has little error checking so make sure that your
modem is on and plugged in before booting.
