In order to make AEPRO emulate a VT-52, two steps must be taken.  The first
step is to invoke the U command with gets you to the MACRO Command MENU after
which, the S command (set terminal parameters) is issued.  From the table you
select the DEC VT-52 as the input terminal.  The output terminal is what you
use to do the emulation (i.e. 80 col card).  After that selection is all done,
the second step is to get back to the macro command menu and select $ which
turns on the emulation mode.  The user can then dial out and connect to a
system and the VT-52 emulation will be in effect.
