Not exactly - the VT102 features were usually called "local editing".
The 102 also came, by default, with 132-column capability and a few
other bells and whistles that were options on the VT100.

I'm not sure what you mean by "paging capability"...

The VT132 added block-mode capability, ala IBM mainframe terminals.

You didn't find Rick Shuford's archive of terminal info, then :-).
The DEC-Specific page starts at

  http://www.cs.utk.edu/~shuford/terminal/dec.html

and the more generic terminal-cell page starts at

  http://www.cs.utk.edu/~shuford/terminal_index.html

Rick's pages are a truly wonderful model of what web pages should be.
Many good indices to useful information, remarkably little self-
congratulatory graphics!

VMS will work quite happily with the VT102. What exactly do you want
to make it do?
