 [begone vile line-eater-thing or I shall...auggh!...MUNCH!]

 I have been using RedRyder 10.3 under MultiFinder a fair bit over the last
week, and am finding that it works quite nicely, including the ability to
download in the background while working on other tasks. However, RR10.3 needs
at *least* 300K to work with, so its not possible to load much else while
RR is running.  Other terminal programs use less memory, but most of them
put up a Modal dialog box while downloading, making it impossible to 'switch'
to another layer once the download has begun. (This includes MacTerminal
(which only needs 136K), FreeTerm 2.0, and MacKermit 0.8(35).)

 Does anyone know of any currently-available terminal programs that don't use
too much memory and can download in the background?
(I haven't got access to VersaTerm, but have heard that it downloads in the
background.. how much memory does it require? (please include data for both
VersaTerm and VersaTerm Pro)).


Thanks in advance,
Warren Bell
