[Python-Dev] Terminal programs (was: Python-dev summary: Jul 1-15)

[Barry Scott]

I can second Tera Term Pro. It is one of the few VT100 emulators that gets the
emulation right. Many term program get the emulation wrong, often
badly. If you do not have the docs for the VT series terminals a devo will not
know the details of how the escape sequences should work and apps will fail.
