Dunnou about David's needs, but for my own (VTEDIT under OS/8),
emulation within a more modern dumb terminal is rarely accurate
enough.  If you just want approximate emulation, lots of DEC terminals
and DEC-compatible terminals do offer VT-52 emulation, but I've only
tested and rejected the emulation in the VT220.
