One other thing I'd like to see added, although you couldn't do it in text
mode on the Apple.  ANSI color graphics are somewhat of a standard on MS-DOS
machines, and a lot of their BBSs support it.  It is more functional than
ProTerm Special and allows more freedom than what we Apple user's currently
have.  If done in graphics mode, it would be slower; but it sure would be nice
to have!
