No, that is right. It should be 220, and not 200.
Also, don't forget to restart X. The .Xresource stuff was always hokey
and if things are not perfect, bad things happen. I've spent way more
time than I want to think dealing with Xresource crap over the years
(and b*tching at authors).
Uh. Xresources are really not that hard. You can always query the current values. No need to ever restart because of it. But you do need to make sure you have loaded the values. But with xrdb you can either merge new values in, or remove all the old values. I'd say you have pretty good control over this aspect.
Figuring out the names of the keys in the xresources is another story, however.

XTerm.vt100.decTerminalID: vt200
Now change that to "vt220". :-)

Interesting - really love to see the sources. I wonder what is different / has changed. By the early 2000s (pre compaq-tion) many/most of the systems developers on my team in MRO and ZKO, used xterms to get the vms systems for development (i.e we tended to use Alpha workstations but still needed to support some systems functions that ran on VMS). I supposed some must have used a PC for some of that work, but many of us just used our DS100's or the like running Tru64.
Hmm = you tests are interesting data - maybe more of them used DECterms than I thought and we never noticed.

Doesn't make a bit of difference. Still doesn't give me DECDWL or DECDHL,
and the debugger issue still persists.

Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
It's pretty much done except for the IPSec stuff, but that's just getting the right config options loaded in and is trivial.
It's here if anyone is interested in seeing how it works.

Actually, for me:
xrdb -query | grep decTerminalID
gives
*.vt100.decTerminalID: 220
Check that you have things actually set correctly... If you just have decTerminalID, it will not even be associated with xterm. (Xresources are often a somewhat obscure thing.)
DECDWL and DECDHL works just fine for me. That could be a font issue in your environment.
