[ale] VT-100-220-320 docs, anyone?

[cfowler]

Also there is a book with all the terminal RFC's.  

Termcap is a great place to start.  It baiscally tells the system what 
escape characters to send to make the terminal behave in certain ways.

The way I've understood it was that VT100 was the base and 220 and 320
built ontop of that base.
