I own a //e and can "use" ansi full screen editors with my proterm.

Same thing with GBBS pro. Proline and GBBS both have a "line" editor that
is available to all users. However the "fullscreen" editor is only available
to computers that have "televideo" in proline case, and proterm special in
GBBS case. I think that all Apple users should own a copy of proterm. Then
they would know what we are talking about.

GBBS pro can be modified to use ansi or pse or anything you wish. Its up to
the operator. Now if proline had a full screen ANSI editor, that would be
something to talk about.
