Honestly, I don't know. I tried vt320 and this also yields a normal display.
The ite.c source was originally taken from the amiga-port. I didn't change
the emulator itself (in fact very little has changed). The source states
that it emulates a vt200. A vt200 definition is also lacking from termcap
and I followed the amiga-port here and changed to use the vt220 definition.
I have no doc's about the vt200 definitions, so I can't check what the
difference is between the vt200 and the vt220. So I don't know what is
wrong here. It might be the vt220 termcap definition, or the capabilities
used are simply not implemented (or are no part of the vt200 definition).
Is there anybody on the list who is able and willing to sort these things
out?
Leo.
