	Could you please explain to me why you need a GS specific (what you 
mean by a "GS/OS term prog") program if ProTERM works well for you, as you
seem to imply?

	ProTERM takes advantage of the GS's expanded memory.. What else do
you need? The text screen is faster than the graphics screen anyway... I've only
seen a few GS programs that scroll "quickly."  Usually scrolling a text window 
is pretty slow, and that's bad in a term program when info is coming all the
time..

	I really really like ProTERM and have seen nothing as good as it
(Ascii Express is a fairly far second, but way ahead of anything else, in my
opinion)..

	Do you want a GS specific versions just so you can say it's GS 
specific?

	Please don't take my questions as rude or anything.. I honestly can't
think of many useful things a GS specific terminal program could do that 
ProTERM can't.. (There's something Ascii Express did that ProTERM doesn't,
which is character mapping.. like locking out {s when you have a noisy line
almost eliminates you SEEING line noise.. it may appear on the other end though)

	Oh well, enough of that.. I'm just curious..
