	The split screen buffer in JRComm is not the same, and not as good as, 
the Review Window in VLT.  Since VLT puts the buffer in its own window, I can 
have it open at the same time I'm using a full-screen editor.  I can't do that
in JRComm.  Also, VLT's Review Window lets you save selected text to a file,
or to the clipboard (useful when using QED instead of some crummy BBS editor-
I don't need to use Snap to clip text from one to the other!), and has search
functions, and is ARexx compatable...

	It's a lot more useful than JRComm's.
