Alt= quotes the following keystroke to allow you to access the program commands. More info: ANSI/VT102, VT52, and ANSI-BBS/AVATAR emulations, 132-column support, keyboard macros, DESQview-aware, supports arbitrary screen sizes, runs in as little as 41K (65K with DSZ for file transfers including Zmodem autodownload), and is freeware (send me a postcard if you like it). -- {backbone}!cs.cmu.edu!ralf ARPA: RALF@CS.CMU.EDU FIDO: Ralf Brown 1:129/3.1 BITnet: RALF%CS.CMU.EDU@CMUCCVMA AT&Tnet: (412)268-3053 (school) FAX: ask DISCLAIMER?
