So what? 

I am a former (as of 7-88) Apple ][ series user. I was devout to the machine,
until I got my Mac (after nearly 7 years of computing on the ][). Believe me,
ProTerm is nothing to "rave" about. That program just, well, isn't. In terms
of power, it doesn't come close to AE Pro, really. Look at a term Program for
the Amiga (or Mac), which allows you to download, upload, chat, and run
another totally different application at the same time! Now, granted, the
reason that ProTerm can't implement those features (multitasking) isn't
entirely it's fault.

But it could support a few.
