SMG$ and TERMTABLE.EXE won't help, they are *VERY* limited in the
support of non-ANSI terminals. Emacs doesn't use SMG$ routines nor
TERMTABLE.EXE. It uses a different mechanism (termcap) to parametrize
terminal control. It can and will understand all kinds of terminals,
see EMACS_LIBRARY:[ETC]TERMCAP.DAT or type C-h i and select the menu
entry for termcap.
