	We all agree that the TRS-80 Model III can't be a VT100
because it has a 64x16 screen. However, I just had the high-res
graphics board installed in my Mod. 3 and the 640x240 pixel
resolution of the graphics screen seems plenty big enough to
allow an 80x24 text screen. Text can be displayed in the
graphics screen with the PRINT#-3 statement and the characters
look small enough to fit 80 columns and 24 lines. Has anyone
out there tried to use this higher resolution to make a VT100
emulator for a Model 3 with the hi-res board? Can it be done?

Thanks,
