5420 follies - sure this thing is vt100-compatible!!!

The problem is that after a region scroll the vt100 puts
the cursor at home. Whereas the 5420 leaves the cursor where it was.
I think that the 5420 design makes much more sense  (why
conform to a lazy designer that couldn't figure out how to
restore the cursor???!!!!)

There is a fix to emacs that does not assume the cursor is
on the screen after a region scroll.
