    Hi,

    I would like to know if there is a way to set the default of the
    ':Terminal Simulator' argument of the Terminal Program to VT100. The
    current default is Ambassador (Genera 8.1). Are the sources of the
    Terminal Program distributed?

    rm

In your lispm-init file:

(cl:pushnew '(:UNIX42 TELNET:VT100-TERMINAL-SIMULATOR)
	    telnet:*host-default-terminal-simulators*
	    :test #'equal)

which will set the default for Unix hosts.  However, my experience is
that since 8.0 the VT100 emulator is broken -- lines are overprinted
without being cleared, etc., and after one screenful, you cannot read
anything.  I don't know if Symbolics intends to fix this.  The
Ambassador emulator has no such problem.
