Well, I don't know _how_ simple is simple, but you might take a look
at the example code in PCTechniques magazine of June/july 1991.
An article by Alex Lane & Richard Nelson of Borland give a great
example of what they call a complete communications terminal in
530 lines of code. Too long for me to type in, but you may be able to
get the code from CompuServ. GO CLMFORUM and select PCTECHNIQUES from
the message area. I guess they have a way to download stuff from there,
but my comm situation is such that I can't download CIS stuff yet.

BTW, PCTechniques is pretty good reading for those of us trying to
figure out what the &*(^ this object oriented stuff _is_.

pete
