Would someone with a real DEC VT terminal be so kind and help settle, once and for all,
the question about how they behave with respect to line-wrapping, exactly? It is something
that isn't covered by any standard, nor by any of DEC's manuals, and there is a
scarcity of information online that is not vague repetition of folklore.
I'll have to see if I can reverse engineer this from the RSTS PRO display code. The
reason is that this was written based on the standard (DEC Std 070). If you can find
that document, that would be great, because it is the authority on how things are supposed
to be done. The VT200 series were supposedly implemented from that spec. The VT100
series predates it.
