     Yes, yes, yes, no.

     I am a confirmed VersaTerm PRO user, and have been since the
program first came out.  The VT100 emulation is excellent, except it
doesn't do some of the less useful text modes like blinking or
double-width.  You can do all sorts of things with the mouse:

     Double-click a word.  The word plus a carriage return is pasted
to the serial port.  Handy for repeating commands.  Shift-double-click
does the same, but with no carriage return.  Handy for composing new
commands.

     You can configure the mouse to send emacs-style, vi-style, or
ANSI-style cursor key commands.

     You can configure the mouse to be "live" when the option key is
depressed, or "live" all the time.

     The mouse continues to work throughout emacs sessions.

     I hear the VersaTerm VT100 emulation is just as good as the
VersaTerm PRO VT100.
