Someone recently mentioned that SOFTERM had VT100 terminal  emulation.  This
is true, but beware. The last time that I saw the product it came on a 5 1/4
floppy and was heavily copyprotected. This has nothing to do with the terminal
emulation of course but can certainly make life miserable. Kermit380 has
VT100 emulation. The docs that I have only list about four function keys.
However, I have managed to emulate all of the Function keys that OU's mainframe
calls for by pressing Escape and the corresponding key at the top to the
keyboard.  For instance, PF1 is Escape 1 and PF11 if Escape -. Please excuse
me  if the terminology here is incorrect, as I am unfamiliar with the differanc
es between PF and Function keys, etc. I've been using Kermit380 for a few
months now and except for the lack of a good TRAP mode have been extremely
pleased with it. At it's price (free) it's definately worth trying first.
