	To begin with let me point out that a _REAL_ VT10x (100/102, etc.) 
does not have a 25th line - the 'status line' on a DEC VT series terminal did
not begin until the VT125, though in reality on the 200 series.
	You can, however, get a 'status line' by setting supporting comm
products up (such as VersaTerm) to have 25 lines, and then telling your UNIX
host that you have such an animal.  If you look at a 25th line termcap you will
see that what it does is to setup the top 24 as the default scrolling region
and then just resets the region when getting at the 25th...Also, most hosts
have a termcap entry for a 24th line 'status line' usuing the same technique.
