You can use any dec terminal, set it to VT52 mode
and then try the results. The Video SRM (dec internal)
made the behavour a standard for all VT52/100/220/320
and all the rest.

Subject: Does anyone have a live VT52?
Does anyone have a live VT52 to hand? I'm working
on a patch for xterm,
and I have a query about its behaviour that could be answered by having
someone type five characters in local mode and reporting the results.
Unfortunately my VT52 is dead and I haven't spent the time to discover
why, yet. I promise that these five characters won't kill yours!

I think that in the case I described to Jerome, there is a difference
between a VT52 and a later terminal in VT52 mode. The fact that the
surmised difference is insignificant hasn't stopped me from being
curious about it!
The most diligent of terminal emulator authors will fall into large
holes left by the external specifications, so I'm doing some work to be
as precise as I imagine the Video SRM is. Is that the document
containing chunks of Pascal that make a reference emulator?
