My apologies to Versaterm, if they are necessary.  I stand by my praise of 
MacTerminal.  When I BOUGHT it it was the best.  I am very happy with it,
although some of the extra features you mentioned available on the
release version are making my mouth water, I'm afraid, not an additional
$99 worth.  If I was buying new I'm sure I would take all this into
consideration.  (Of course if I was buying new, I probably wouldn't know
all this!).  $99 is an excellent price/performance for MacTerminal and
(per you) a better one for Versaterm.

But I've already spent my budget for a terminal program.  And it works
better than my old Pterm and Ascii Express did on the Apple][ I used for
4 years.
