VT52 emulation? Seems to be there but doesn't work? #480

Hi, I am connecting to an older system and it is emitting VT52 sequences that cool-retro-term does not seem to recognize. It also outputs this into stderr:

Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)J
Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)Y
Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)Y
Undecodable sequence: \001b(hex)Y

I wonder where should I look in the code to add VT52 emulation myself or if there is perhaps a VT52 terminal sequence translation program that could be used from inside cool-retro-term?

thanks!

Interestingly, cool-retro-term passes vttest VT52 with flying colors (unlike VTE-based gnome-terminal). Still, when I log into a PDP-11 clone with xterm, escape sequences work, but when I do that with cool-retro-term they don't. Any suggestions are appreciated!
