Here are a few features that I think would make the
next release of WinQVT/NET better:

1. Have a slow-paste switch. Some mainframes can't accept 
   pasted text at TCP/IP speeds. Most terminal emulation
   packages have a way to adjust the pacing for ascii
   uploads, which is exactly what a paste in WinQVT/NET
   is. I can still do it in NCSA Telnet by diabling Fast
   Paste in the PIF file. 

2. Support the alt-T command. In NCSA Telnet this command
   sends a standard FTP initialization string to the main-
   frame (ftp -n pcip). This would be a perfect complement 
   to v. 1.5's FTP server capability. (Come to think of it,
   I'll probably end up programming one of my function keys
   to do this.)

3. Have Alt-A bring up the Telnet Services dialog box. I 
   suppose I've gotten used to NCSA Telnet.


Anyone else think of more stuff to add?
