The emulator does not need to be *that* precise...

I was refering only to the keys issue.
In the meantime I have realized that one can use something like

	wsconsctl -w map+="keycode 13 = slash grave" > /dev/null

to match the F, home & end  keys with a vt220.
That way one can use the default vt220 TERM and still have F1-Help
home & end working...
