Nope; VT100s do *not* have add and delete line capabilities. I both checked
the documentation and went over to the VT100 in the next room to verify that
documentation matched reality. (VT102s are, of coures, another story.)
To duplicate the test:
* find yourself a Digital-Equipment-Corporation-built VT100
* go into SET-UP mode
* put the terminal in LOCAL mode
* get out of SET-UP mode
* type
<ESC> # 8
to fill the screen with capital Es
* Move the cursor to the middle of the screen
* and type
<ESC> [ L
and note that no blank line appears.
