Dear Pete,

I've been writing a paper on getting started with SUI but it's not done yet. Here is the section on terminal emulation. I hope it helps.
      Something to consider is your term type. I work primarily with D3 and term J for vt100. After much testing and exchanges with Pete, I recommend using one of these emulations: 1) Accuterm wyse 60 with D3 term type 'wy60', or 2) Accuterm vt320 or vt420 with D3 vt100 or vt320. wyse60 and vt both render well, just differently. Other emulations simply don't look right for use with SUI. To see the differences, set your term types, then in your accuterm host account enter "run suibp setup.accuterm.colors" from TCL, and select an option. Now run "run suibp sui.test.attributes" and "run suibp sui.test".

Since doing this testing I've reset my emulation from J/vt100 to vt320/vt320. There's no reason not to stick with this winning combination unless you've hard-coded escape sequences for some other emulation into your app.

[START EDIT] Note that even though D3 Term J is shown by a "term" statment as "product name VT100", Term J is not the same as Term VT100 as far as SUI and Visual Styles is concerned. D3 Term VT100 works ok with AccuTerm VT320 or VT420, but there's no reason not to just keep them both consistent at VT320. [END EDIT]
