I use and heartily recommend ZTerm (version 0.85 if I remember
correctly is the most recent version, but I might be wrong). It
does full VT100 emulation and PC-BBS emulation, handle colour
etc. It has X, Y, and ZModem protocols, and Kermit is supposed to
be coming (but then, so is Christmas :-) I don't know whether you
can edit from within it, I've never tried, but I suspect not.
Certainly ZTerm is one of the easiest communications packages to
use that I've come across (and I've tried several, including RR).

It is shareware and comes with full documentation. If you have
access to FTP, you can get it from sumex.
