Well, I'm not the one you asked, but I'll explain why. Most (or a very large number) of university systems are vt-100 thingies... they expect function keys and all that stuff. Without vt-100 emulation, some of those systems would be very difficult, if not impossible, to log onto to. I, personally, would not buy a telecomm program that didn't have a good vt-100 emulator. >-- >/Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu MAIL ME FOR INFO ABOUT CHEAP CDs\ >\WRITE TO ORIGIN ABOUT ULTIMA VI //e and IIGS!
