Well, I've run JR-Comm 1.0 once.  And what I don't like about it (and many
others from what has been posted) is the screen telling you to register.

I understand that Mr. Radigan wishes people to register their copy of JR-Comm
but the frequency with which it is displayed little seems short of bullying. 
(Extortion was a bit strong...).

I like JR-Comm and have used .94 ALOT!  (just wanted everyone to know that I'm
not all bad!)

Now, has anyone else noticed any probs in VT-100 mode?  My problem is:

When I fire up JRC in VT-100 mode, I lose some stuff.  Mainly, the editor I use
on my UNIX box matches parenthesis automatically.  When I'm running JRC, and
the editor matches parenthesis, the parenthesis and everything between 
disappears.  I was hoping that the VT-100 emulation was going to be perfect.
It looks like I still have to keep 2 term. programs so I can use the editor
on my UNIX box.

Also, my editor (emacs, if it makes a difference) has an inverse (color on 
white) status bar that displays the name of the file, how much is displayed, 
etc.  In all color-modes (WB, 4, 8, 16, etc.) this doesn't show up right.  The
best it gets is when I go to 4 colors or less and then I get just a status
bar displayed normally (not inverse).  I have screwed around with the palatte
but have gotten nowhere.  I realize that this isn't a problem w/JRC, but would
appreciate it if someone sent me a jr-comm.def file which will help.

Thanks,
AMH
