You can make MS-DOS Kermit send anything you want with SET KEY, so at least
the keyboard part is user programmable. I don't know what you mean by
scrolling and coloring -- Kermit already does those things. Send-screen-to-
host is an unacceptable security risk.
I don't think adding this kind of emulation would serve any particularly
pressing need, since SCO has lots of termcaps -- just use a different one,
like VT100, VT320, etc.
