While I haven't tried the specific situation that you describe I think it
is important to point out that there has been TWO upgrades to VersaTerm
since version 3.1.  I believe the current version is 3.20, Jan 10, 1988.
Lonnie has the interesting policy of making small changes to the program
but not bumping the version number.  Thus there was a version 3.2 in
October and now there is still version 3.2 but a release date of Jan 10.
He is very tuned to using MultiFinder so I would expect better performance
all around if you use the current version.
