That's easy Jim, Versaterm.  I have tried MacTerminal, Red Ryder ( gack )
MockTerminal, and the VT52 DA.  For my money ( $99 of it ) Versaterm is
the best around.  The vt100 support is excellent, the Tektronix 4014
support is good ( I use it on occasion but expect I'll probably be using
it more soon ), and I haven't found the need to use the DG D200 terminal
support.  The mouse understands vi, emacs, and standard vt100 arrows.
( I can actually use the mouse to move my man in rogue! )
It can print the stream as it receives it from the host ( I love this
feature ), it does MacXmodem, Text Xmodem, Binary Xmodem and Kermit
as menu selections.  It has a really neat copy paste function so reentering
a long command is a one menu-item choice, and it has about four pages
worth of window so you can scroll back and see/select text.  This is by
far NOT all this program can do.  If you can get a demo, do.

On the whole, I'm more than happy with this Mac Product.  Lonnie, ya done good.

BTW, I have no affiliation with the dudes that made and market Versaterm
except that I applaud them for a job well done. Also, I bow my head in
observance to the organizations whose trademarks I may have used.
( Is all this really necc.? )
