MacTerminal seems to require the vt100 termcap setting when being used on a
UNIX vax (4.2BSD).  Our termcap file for the VT100 has neither line insert
nor line delete.  Presumably MacTerminal's software is
capable of such operations.   Is there a termcap file around for
MacTerminal that supports these (or other features)?

Without it, it makes editing on a UNIX system under vi more painful than
necessary.
