I use PC Anywhere with a Beehive 100 terminal and with a Ampex 210,
in both cases I can use graphics.
I run Wordperfect on those terminals with no big problems, the only 
problem I have are the extended characters not the line drawing
characters.
I use the program to control the LAN from our Unix system, form unix
I can run all the programs on the Dos LAN.
