Yep.     From the FAQ:

The emulation level for xterm is set via the resource decTerminalID,
*e.g.*,
to 220 for a VT220. Once set, applications can set the emulation
level up
or down within that limit. DEC's terminals are configured in much the
same
way by a setup option.

Yup... .Xresources has "decTerminalID: vt200" but that still doesn't
excuse
it for misbehaving as one. ;)   It also doesn't do DECDWL or DECDHL
when it's
set for vt200.

Note that the value should be set to "220", not "vt220", nor "vt200".


And I should correct myself. Leading letters are ignored in 
decTerminalID, so vt220 works just as well as 220. However, vt200 will 
probably still not create the desired result.

And you need the resource class or resource name in there as well, so 
just a plain decTerminalID in your x resources will not work right.


I'll have to stop postin shorthand for you...

XTerm.vt100.decTerminalID: vt200
