I have just tried Red for the first time (I downloaded version 6.2 off of
Compuserve which is the latest).  Red crashed several times while doing even
the simplest things in vi. I guess the vt100 emulation isn't as good as he
thinks!  I haven't had a chance to call the author up to discuss the bugs
yet, which also included a bomb while trying to kermit over a file.
