In reference to some of the questions on Crosstalk, I did some experimentation a while back and discovered that it DOES support insert/delete mode. Using termcap/terminfo for something like the vt102/vt131/vt132 may be appropriate in most cases. The only difference (problem) I've found so far is that Crosstalk does not have/support the xn/xenl glitch in column 80. It does wrap to the next line. This is easy enough to turn off, but I've also discovered that if you're inserting text into a line which wraps to the next line, the second line doesn't get displayed correctly. Entering a ^L does fix the display. I've looked at the escape sequences, tried lots of padding, and for the life of me don't see the problem. Another product, SmarTerm 100, also provides reasonable vt102 emulation WITH xn/xenl. I haven't really tested it against the above conditions.
