Heck, I'm using vesion 1.52, which I bought six months ago at Duke
Student Stores (another consortium store selling outdated software).
I sent in my registration card a little late, but I haven't heard
anything about upgrades from PC&S.

I have no complaints; but, although I am a heavy user, I don't use it
other than to emulate a VT100 terminal for the computers at work (no
downloading or anything).  It handles all my emacs commands smoothly.

I do have one question: occasionally, noise on the line manages to
trigger something into writing 'Answerback Message' on the screen.
What's this about?  (It appears in the index, but nowhere else in my
user manual.)
