I access my schools mainframe with my amiga 500 with 1 meg and 2 floppies via
modem and have been trying to find a term Im most comfortable with. My friend
uses VLT to do this on his 3000 and while I like the fact he can use his arrow
keys easily, I hate the look of VLT, it seems clumsier than Jrcomm <and I just
cant seem to get VLT to run, Im missing a few library files and on a copy I
once used even though I had the xprzmodem library (since deleted) vlt told me 
it couldnt find that file and would not do Zmodem Xfers> and I've had lots of
problems running VLT as I just mentioned, however with Jrcomm I dont know how 
to use the cursor keys like my friend does with VLT and I have to clear the 
screen so that JRcomm will format the incoming data correctly. My terminal is
in interlaced mode <i use vt100 for jrcomm, i tried vt102 once and i had quite
a few bugs with it> and on cunix, i have my terminal set to 40 rows but until I
hit right-amiga-X, it appears as if my terminal is in "forced 80x25" mode when 
it isn't.  can anyone give me any recommendations on what to do, etc, what
programs to use, etc.?

<I also like how on VLT when I have it set to Ansi mode, RN looks colorful. And
last but not least when using jrcomm when I have the vt-10X set to "Custom 
Pallette" the screen constantly flashes. Why?>
