   Yes indeed!

   Yes, this would be very nice to have.  I miss it from MacTerm.

   Not imperative, but nice.

   Don't do this!!! (***Threat***)  I can't stand not being able to use emacs
effectively because some silly little terminal program thinks it knows what
to do with a ^S.  I can use various UNIX utilities to scroll only a little
bit at a time.

   I could do without this.  I don't like the way MacTerm uses up 99.9% of
memory and spins the disk.  Again, I can use various UNIX utilities to help
me use a limited-size screen effectively.

> [ other recommendations omitted ]
The other recommendations were mainly bells and whistles I don't think
are needed, but maybe nice to have.
