Help with VT320 - Is there a line 25 used as status?

Hi All,

I seem to remember that when I used a VT320 under VMS
and EVE/TPU (or at least one of the DEC editors), there was
status information on line 25 for the user.  I think the file name
under edit was displayed and perhaps even the line number and
column number, although I really am doubtful about the latter.

BUT I do seem to remember the file name being available on
line 25.  Am I correct?  Please help!  The VT220 was not able
to support line 25 as far as I know, and certainly the VT100
was not able.  What about the VT410 and VT520 terminals?

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
