If you feel compelled to tell the poster what he meant to ask, you
might at least have the courtesy to answer his question.

If I cared what happens in the case where the terminal is told to go
into 80 vs 132 column mode, I wouldn't be interested in a large vt100.
The people who are asking for this are probably interested in talking
to a UNIX system, have a large monitor, and have enjoyed using xterm
or news, which lets terminal windows be essentially arbitrary size.
It makes a lot of difference whether I get 24 lines or 60, and 80
columns vs 200.

A large number of environments support this functionality.  The issues
are very well understood.  Leonard clearly just isn't familiar with
the work that has been going on in this area for many years.

I agree with the view that extensions to be standardized should be
considered carefully.  The battle here is over the word "standard,"
and it's a goddamn waste of time.  Leonard knows perfectly well what
the guy wanted.

I am not aware of any Macintosh terminal emulators that do VT100
emulation (or any other kind) in greater than 24/80 columns.  It would
be a very valuable feature for many users, and those of you out there
who have done terminal emulation programs would do well to consider
adding it.

I would be very interested in getting my hands on such an emulator - I
have the same problem, and have finally been driven to consider doing
one myself.
