Then I got sick of it. AE ONLY supports ONE protocol, and that's X-Modem. There is NO real scrollback. You have to put it in the COPY buffer. Well, now that I TRY to think of the things I thought were horrible with that program, I can't find any. I hate it when that happens. Anyways! I don't know why everyone is complaining that ProTERM is "losing characters". Losing them where? I lose them in the control panel, but that's only every once in a while, and I don't get lost of the word "Keyboard" turns into "Keboard". ProTERM also handles MORE transfer protocols, and to get ZMODEM transfers, you go through TWO menues. ONE is to select your protocol in the first, place, the SECOND is to specify the receive mode, default file type, and the number of errors before transfer termination. TWO MENUS. I know, life is SO hard, isn't it? It crashes? I don't know what you're talking about. Very often? No. Once in a blue moon? Yes. It used to crash EVERY SINGLE TIME for me after exiting it to go back to GS/OS, however, that was NOT PROTERM'S FAULT. I traced the cause to several INITs and desk accessories which affected the ProDOS 8 quit call for ALL applications. Now the only time it crashes is when my RamFAST card gets a BA error. I've been told that it's a memory error. Bad Address, maybe? But the point is that ProTERM does NOT crash by itself easily. Have you ever used version 2.2 yourself? And the modem access command is +++. we are NOT that stupid. Sorry for that tirade myself. I don't plan on making enemies here or anything, but my point is that there is NOTHING wrong with ProTERM. | ProLine.: llee@gnh-starport | The other day a dog peed on me. | | UUCP....: crash!gnh-starport!llee | A bad sign. | | InterNet: llee@gnh-starport.cts.com | | | AO .....: Shirley you can't be serious! | - H.L.
