Mostly the same as writing a new style test. Additionally, see help on
"terminal-dumptest". Put the reference dump in "dumps/Test_func_name.dump".

+OLD STYLE TESTS:
+
+There are a few tests that are used when Vim was built without the +eval
+feature. These cannot use the "assert" functions, therefore they consist of a
+.in file that contains Normal mode commands between STARTTEST and ENDTEST.
+They modify the file and the result gets writtein in the test.out file. This
+is then compared with the .ok file. If they are equal the test passed. If
+they differ the test failed.
