I would assume that (for those who have the source) it would not
be too hard to upgrade a vt100 emulator to a vt102 (or for that
matter, a vt52 emulator to h-19.....the only difference in each 
case is the addition of real insert/char insert/line function.)

Does anyone have the source for any of these terminal emulators?

I don't have the source of any of these, but it has already been done in some
VT100 and VT52 emulators I've seen.  For some reason, they do it but don't
always document it.  VT102 sequences exist in MacTerminal (says it's a VT100)
and I think SmartCom (IBM-PC product), and a couple of other VT100 emulators
I've seen who's names escape me.  Has anybody tried using any of the VT100
emulators for the ST pretending it was a VT102?  Maybe some of them will work.

Also, the Desktop Terminal Emulator (VT52) has escape sequences for insert
and delete line already, but I don't know if they're H19 compatable.  The
sequences are:

	ESC L - Insert Line		ESC M - Delete Line

[There's also some other nice stuff there, such as changing colors, inverse
video, and the like].

If you can add these sequences to the terminal definition for your ST on your
host, you'll get much better performance out of most screen editors.
