I haven't seen PLUS/TERM yet but I'll check it out.  In the mean time
a few questions:

1.  At the moment, all I have is a VIC with cassette.  Would this
configuration with PLUS/TERM be useable enough to be worth typing
in the program?

2.  Is it safe to assume that PLUS/TERM does nothing to remedy the
ridiculous 22 character screen width?

3.  Has anyone a termcap entry for this combination?  Is there any
hope of running vi with it?  (GAWD! can you imagine a 22 ch by 23 line
screen? Oh well...)  (Even a water logged log is hope to a
drowning...)

Thanks for any help.
