I know.  However, I also think it sure would be *GREAT* if you could 
somehow figure out a way to do it.  SnowTerm does it very well (although, 
of course, there is no window title bar--but there is a menu bar).  As it is, 
I don't use the communications module much at all.  However, I'd use it 
*all the time* if it had vt100.  To me, vt100 emulation would very much 
increase the value of AWGS.  What do other people think?
