The terminal emulator is a little slow, I've noticed that too.. but I don't know if running it without the user agent is going to help. Although you can look in /usr/lib/ua/Comm_Pkgs it calles /usr/bin/async_main to create the Profiles.

It probably has a copy of vi on the disk, although if you don't have Enhanced Editors loaded in it might not work. Look at the contents of the disk with cpio -ict < /dev/rfp021. The Enhanced Editors (vi, ex, etc..) comes with the Utilties set, I never understood that! > 3) Are the compress/uncompress utilities compatible with those under > the Beserkely UFIX kernel? > I don't see why not.

Shutting the screen off so it won't burn in the monitor (without lowering the intensity) is a feature of 3.51 (screen saver). Although the monitor is still running (ie power is still going to it!)
