 vt [{ -on | -off | -auto }]
 "vt mode"
 
 DESCRIPTION:
     The  vt command provides you with a vt100-like interface within a
     ceterm session.

     Ceterm's  default  behavior  is to intercept all  keystrokes  and
     interpret them according to your ce key definitions.  Data is not
     send  to  the shell until a newline is processed.  This makes  it
     very  difficult  to run within a ceterm window  any  applications
     that  depend on vt100-style keyboard interaction.  To accommodate
     that need, ceterm provides a vt emulator mode in which keystrokes
     are interpreted as normal vt100 keystrokes.

     When  switching from ceterm mode to vt mode, the ceterm input pad
     disappears, the transcript pad is cleared, and the text cursor is
     placed at the top left of the screen. Normal ce functions such as
     page  scrolling, cursor movement via the arrow keys, and text and
     mouse  cursor  coordination, are not available while in vt  mode.

     To  switch back to ceterm mode, you must move the mouse cursor to
     to the 'Command: ' prompt and type 'vt'.  (It would be convenient
     to  simply  assign the 'vt' command to a key, but  remember  that
     keystrokes  are not interpreted by ce while in vt mode.) In vt100
     mode, ceterm still interprets some keys.  These include the mouse
     buttons and keys which do not have "values" associated with them.
     See the Key Concepts help (keyCon) for a description of what keys
     can still have key definitions under vt100 mode.

     If  the  ceterm  is operating in autovt mode, the vt  command  is
     disabled.  The autovt mode is controlled via a ceterm argument or
     X resource.
     
     Parameters:

     <none>  
             vt100  emulation  mode  is toggled between  off  and  on,
             unless the current mode is "AUTO", in which case an error
             is generated.

     -on
             vt100 mode is forced on.  This disables mode "AUTO".

     -off
             vt100  mode  is  force off (normal  ceterm  mode).   This
             disables mode "AUTO"

     -auto
             ceterm looks at the terminal attributes to determine when
             to  activate vt100 mode.  When the tty echo bit goes off,
             vt100 mode is activated.  This causes ceterm to switch to
             vt100 mode when a password prompt occurs or when a telnet
             (or rlogin) is in progress. This emulates the behavior of
             the  HP/Apollo  terminal  windows more closely  than  the
             default mode.  Vt100 mode may appear stuck on if the "vi"
             and "viraw" flags are set in a Korn shell.
             Put:
                set +o vi
                set +o viraw 
             in your .profile to get rid of this condition.
