Thank you, I already got results for a VT220 from another contributor.

Quite right. The test actually turns on auto-wrap itself.

I even ran the test on a VT100 emulator in Javascript (http://www.pcjs.org/devices/pc8080/machine/vt100/), which emulates the VT100 hardware with the original ROMs. There is a configuration with a VT100 connected to an IBM PC AT, so after installing Microsoft C on it and porting the test to MS-DOS, I got the same result as a genuine VT100.
