That's about what I've experienced - Output works about as well as I can 
expect it to, input is basically awful. The first thing I type in any 
session is SET TERM/VT100/WIDTH=80/INSERT (I haven't set up a LOGIN.COM 
yet because I haven't got a text editor figured out; obviously I'm at a 
very early stage).

I've all but given up on finding a remotely accurate VT100 emulator. At 
this point I'm just waiting for the MESS team to get theirs working.

I may just buy a VT. I know a place that sometimes has them for not much 
money. The main thing that's been holding me back is desk space.
