I think that I may have generated a driver for the vt52 at one time for 
pur-ee!sebok, my brother Dale at Purdue.  He has it on his homebrew Z80
computer with a version of that screen editor that I modified to run under
the FigForth dialect.  For requests send mail to him.  In the mean time
the driver for the H19 terminal that is included is a good starting point.
Just rip out most of the good stuff (line/character insert/delete, etc.).
If the definitions of these are removed then the code will supply those
functions (at reduced efficiency) itself.

If anybody does write  .../forth/termcap or .../forth/keys  files for their
favorite terminal I would appreciate receiving a copy for inclusion in my
future distributions.  And, again, when I get around to it I want to write a
general default driver that uses /etc/termcap.  I would only use it for
default because the editor uses some terminal functions not defined in
/etc/termcap.  Or, if someone wants to beat me to it and send me a copy, feel
free...
