+---------------

I have Procomm 2.3 and PC-VT 8.4; but I *use* MS-Kermit 2.29 in VT102 mode.
Procomm lost reverse video for some reason, and PC-VT is ssssssllllloooowww
updating the screen.  (Watch clear-to-end-of-line write spaces to the end of
the line; you can see the cursor move.  Makes ANSI.SYS look fast.)  And my
status line programs (define lines 1-23 as scrolling area and use line 24 as
the status line) never worked right in PC-VT or PROCOMM.  Kermit works quite
well, thank you.
