Ah, OK. I hadn’t really compared side-by-side with the old VT100-clone
terminal I had been using before. (I’d only be able to compare at 19200,
though – aside from not going up to 57600, it doesn’t do TTL)
I did notice that the MVT100 handles the output of native M100 applications
better, of course (because of the escape sequences you added to the firmware)
but there is a bug I've noticed - when using TEXT to edit a file longer than
one screen, if you scroll down to the bottom of the file the text scrolls
properly, but if you then cursor-up back past the top of the screen, as you
continue to cursor-up it only re-draws the new line at the top of the screen
and doesn't move the rest of the text down. I don't know if there's a
reverse-scroll escape code it is trying to use, or if it should be re-drawing
the whole screen as you go backwards in the file (I hope not, but that's what
WordStar has to do on the VT100 when you scroll back in a file, so maybe there
isn't such a code). I don't see anything about a reverse-scroll escape code on
your VT100 wiki page (in the codes list at the bottom).
