The Macterminal program then, does not emulate a VT102? The insert
and delete character operations don't work here on our DEC 20 in
EMACS. This is a lose. I just replaced my Apple //e with a system
running Macterminal, and sorry to say, the Apple // did a MUCH better
job of terminal emulation. It displayed characters faster, it did
REAL VT102 emulation, displayed bigger characters and had a DELETE
key.

The most annoying thing about Macterminal is that I have to type
COMMAND BACKSPACE to get a delete. This is Mighty Tiresome and I
always lose home position on the keyboard after the reach for the
command key

Did I miss something or are these all real problems with MacTerminal?
