OK.  Here's a better answer to "what's new in WK 11.07?" -- the doc. that
comes with the upgrade.  Enjoy.

-------------------------
New As Of 11.07
---------------

1) Control characters can now be embedded in the VT emulation Answerback
string, just as they are in a Macro Key string (to send a carriage return,
which is CONTROL-M, you would put in a caret character, followed by the
letter M - like this: ^M).  Note that unlike a Macro Key string, the
combinations ^!, ^@, ^#, and ^$ have no meaning in the Answerback string.

Example:  I want my Answerback string to contain the word "HELLO" followed
by a CONTROL-C character, followed by the word "THERE", followed by a
carriage return.  In the dialog box brought up by choosing Customize->
VT Modes, I would enter the following in the Answerback Message item:
HELLO^CTHERE^M

2) Fixed bug that was not lining up characters in the proper column in VT
emulation when an addition font (see pages 249-250 in White Knight manual)
was being used.  This fix will allow the use of IBM character set fonts in
VT emulation to support those BBS systems that rely on this character set.

3) Fixed bug in printer control in VT102 emulation that could cause double
spacing of lines consisting of exactly 80 characters.

4) Fixed bug in Host Mode with SENDX, SENDY, SENDZ, SENDK, and SENDF
commands.  If "Auto-receive" is turned on in the Customize->Options-File
Transfer dialog box on both machines and there is some sort of error
(e.g. "File Not Found", "Unknown Volume", etc.) the auto-receive would
incorrectly start the file transfer on the receiver's end before the error
message was sent.  This has been corrected.

5) Added tolerance for those VT102 applications that use backspacing during
auto-print sequences to do double-striking (boldfacing) on the printed page.
You won't get double-striking, but the printout will otherwise appear
correctly.

6) Fixed VT102 bug during auto-print that allowed one too many characters to
be printed on a line before automatically wrapping around.

7) Fixed bug that could cause crash with Suitcase (most notably) when
bringing up High Level Printing Options dialog box the second time.

8) Fixed bug where if a keyboard shortcut (example: Shift-Option-F for Full
Duplex) were chosen when the General Status Bar was selected but also
hidden, the Serial Port Settings portion would suddenly become un-hidden.

9) Eliminated auto-start "feedback" when sending ZMODEM that could cause
sending White Knight to incorrectly first jump into "Receiving File Via
ZMODEM Protocol" routine.

10) Fixed bug in CONTAINS Procedure command where YES/NO flag was not being
set to NO (if it were previously set to YES) when STR_VAR was empty.

11) Fixed bug that could cause crash if a Settings File or Procedure File
with a pathname of more than 80 characters were entered in a Phonebook 
listing.

12) If a delay between redials is specified, you can now cancel the
redialing during the delay period.

13) The "Time/Date Header" at the top of printed files (if selected) was
excluding the time.
