This really doesn't work. If you want to borrow a copy of a piece of software
to see if it's worth buying then borrow the manual too. I've never used
ProTerm but I know a guy who "borrowed" a copy of Appleworks to see if he
liked it. He not only decided that Appleworks was worthless but spread that
news all over his lab and the campus.  His complaint? You can't do block
deletes or move data between different files. When I asked him about using the
clipboard his reply was; Huh? what's a clipboard.
