I have just gotten DesTerm 1.00 and have been impressed.... But, There have
been some very strange things happening with it...for example, right now i am
typing on a line that contains commodore graphics symbols instead of alphabeti
c characters. For some reason it will print on certain lines only graphics and
this only happens sometimes. I have no idea what is going on. When the normal
characters scroll up into these lines of grphic charaters, they toochange into
graphic character equivilents of the normal characters. And this only seems to
happen after a vt code has been sent! What can I do for this? Also, I can not
get the phone book autodialer to work? Should this work in this version? It
pops up a dialer window, but just sits there and does not dial nor pick up
the line...eventually it exits and goes back to terminal mode. I have the
dial string all set correctly... Also, the LEDS don't seem to do anything...
I am impressed by the terminal though, I would like to get a newer version of
it with either bug fixes or jut a version that has not been corrupted as mine
seems to have been.... BTW I am using the ibmset characters...I really like
the 52 line modes, I have never saw that done on a c128 before and it was very
impressive. one more small problem is getting it to wotk correctly with 
rogue and other games similar to that. When I move vertically inthese games,
the line to the right of the cursor gets deleted by one character on each move
I make....Should it do this? When I was using kermit I never had this problem.
I did however have the same problem on vt100-128 from the 1670 disk! Any help
in these areas would be appreciated. (actually a repost of the newest version
would be nicer!)

For the guy asking about setting kermit. To set the baud rate to 1200 you would
go KERMIT>set baud 1200
And to set it to 80 columns (hardware chip) you go..
KERMIT>set screen commodore-128
TO do a soft-80 screen you type..
KERMIT> set screen 80
Not too hard huh? Well later.....
