It's my understanding (and experience -- I use a VT100 as an extra
terminal) that VT100 terminals don't support the region scrolling
escape sequences.  The VT102 does, and Emacs scrolls great through my
VT102 emulator (I use Telemate on a PC) with terminal type set to vt102.

There's always line editors -- I think I've got source to a TECO clone
around here somewhere... ;) ;) ;).
