It's okay, but there are some applications I use on RSX that really 
expose any terminal emulator that don't properly handle some escape 
sequences, and so far I think that pretty much none I've tried, except 
for xterm, does it all correct.
(I think the one from DEC in Pathworks is also good, but since I don't 
use Windows, I pretty much never use that one.)

With the stock terminal application on OSX, my first, and obvious 
problem is that it don't clear the screen if you tell it to use 80 
columns, and you are already at 80 columns. Most emulators fails that 
one, and yes, I have one program I use a lot which depends on it.
