Hi terminal users,

I recently bought a used vt220 terminal with no docs.  When I set it up in
vt220 mode I can't get the cursor keys to work, even though my TERM variable
is set to vt220 (which exists in the terminfo database).

If I set it up in vt100 mode, with TERM set to vt100, the cursor keys work.
Am I losing any useful capabilities by using vt100 vice vt220 mode?

Are there freely available pseudo-docs for this thing?  I know nothing about
this terminal.  Can someone tell me how it stacks up against vt102's and
wyse 60's, etc?

Any help gratefully accepted.  Email or post, I'll summarize if there's
sufficient interest.

Thanks,
Tom
