Ed, VT100 emulation in syscons is a great idea. The first time ;-) I implemented VT100 emulation I didn't know about all of the VT100 and VT220 torture tests floating around. If you haven't already, I strongly suggest you track down some of them. The various VT100 "movies" are useful tests and kind of fun to watch. Tim
