[Info-vax] VT220 emulator on iPad

I think there are some people here who have both Apple and DEC kit, so 
here goes!

I set up the TinyTerm emulator to be able to log in from an iPad into a 
VMS cluster.  (I even set the background to black and the foreground to 
bright green!)  It works, but the keyboard has a German layout.  Yes, I 
am in Germany, but there is nothing German about my VMS cluster.  I have 
the Apple Smart Keyboard, which is a US layout.  In other apps on the 
iPad, the keys print what it says on them.  There doesn't seem to be 
anything in the configuration of the app which would cause the keyboard 
to be German.

The LANGUAGE of the iPAD is set to German, which I could change.  
However, if the app is using that as the basis for the keyboard layout, 
and there is no way to change it, then this is probably not the emulator 
for me.

Any ideas?

Any suggestions on good VT(220) emulators for iPad?
