They are called automatically when you select the phone number. I routinely use Versaterm to contact 7 different mainframes using DG, TEK4014, VT100, and HP emulation on 4 different configurations by just selecting a phone number. Also, Versaterm is UNIX friendly with delete, and other useful keys handy. Disclaimer: I am a co-worker of Lonny's but am not connected with Versaterm.
