[comp.sys.dec] VT220 block mode and block mode applications?

mercer@ncrcce.StPaul.NCR.COM (Dan Mercer) (10/19/88)

Does anyone know if VT220's (or VT100's) support block mode transmissions
where editting functions (character and line insert and delete) are handled
within the terminal?

Do any applications (under VMS or Ultrix) support this feature (if it exists).
Any editors?  Are any of these alleged applications prevalent?

Thanks in advance

        DEC Customer Special Services (Australia) make a block mode terminal
called the VT220Z.  The VT220 and VT100 do not do block mode.
