FLASH has a VT100 emulator, but I don't use it (I think it is incomplete); I do, however, use the VT52 (default), and I can vi on it (I don't know if this is a VT52 function, since the ATARI VT52 application does not allow me to do so.) HABACOM also has an (incomplete) VT100 emulator; I have not tried it yet, so I cannot say if it's buggy or not (although I soon will, so if need be I'll follow up). I don't think INTERLINK has a VT100. ATARI itself sells a VT100 emulator (20 or 30 bucks) -- you can even get it at your local FEDERATED! :-) I cannot vouch for K.I.S.S. That's all I know, except I've had no problems with FLASH or INTERLINK set on VT52 for basic terminal functions. Good luck... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian D.
