Having just become the proud owner of a true blue, unadauterated,
DEC VT-100 AA terminal, I have a few questions:
1) Does the blasted thing support any handshaking other than
XON/XOFF? DTR is apparently not used. I cannot
believe that DEC would build a mainframe terminal with no hardware
handshaking!
2) How do you write to the 25th line on the thing? Or does it
have one? I remember that there was an "advanced graphics option (
NOT REGIS )" for the VT-100. Does that support it?
Thank you.

No, XON/XOFF is it.

No, there are only 24 lines (or 14 lines in 132-column mode, unless
you have the AVO, in which case there are 24 lines there too, in addition
to the extended character attribute support).
