(it DID GURU, BTW...not just a lockup) Since I always used topaz in the earlier versions, due to when I used to use Snipit and it didn't like your font, I just sorta neglected to put the new ones in my Fonts: dir. Anyway, I tried it a few times and it seemed to be fairly solid, but I'm back to Handshake now for VT100 for a few reasons, not all of which are your fault. (I wish, though, that lines too long for the screen would wrap around - I know a VT100 terminal doesn't do this, but Handshake has an option (HINT HINT) for it and it does help - also, when a too-long line leaves a character at the end, the optimized scroll routine "forgets" about it and leaves it on the screen until a screen clear... not exactly a bug, but...) (also, I seem to have very few choices as to what color to set the title bar to in VT100 mode, else it will flash mercilessly. I liked the old multicolor scheme better, but that's another story) One question: WHY did you change some of the old keyboard shortcuts, most notably the one for the phone book and for the screen title, when you added the new functions? Why not just use new shortcuts for the new functions? Anyway, I've put 1.0 away until A: I can afford to register to get rid of that delay screen, which I can't now due to some sudden dental work, and B: your "bug fix" version (1.1?) comes out, even if the bugs don't affect me, you might change some more things (hope hope). Remember, the more you make user-selectable the more people you'll please! . <<<>>> -- .---------------------------------------------------------------------------. |Ben Scott, professional goof-off and consultant at The Raster Image, Denver| |Amiga UUCP node domain: bscott@vila.denver.co.us Else: bscott@nyx.cs.du.edu| |FIDO point address 1:104/421.2, or call the Arvada 68K BBS at (303)424-9831| |"Don't embarrass us..."
