Yes, we won't support it.
There are so few programs out there in the real world that use these
sequences, they're simply not worth our bothering.
But more importantly than that, using the "forms" mode terminal sequences is
only one way to program up forms on an HP3000. VPLUS is obviously another.
We're also putting into QCTerm a third, new, much simpler and much more
handsome way to do forms on the HP3000, without the use of escape sequences
at all. Indeed, I think this is the most important thing we're doing with
QCTerm for the long-term future of the HP3000. It's just that none of you
have seen it yet. But let me say, I think it's going to be nice -- and have I
ever lied to you yet? :-)
