You probably don't know anyone who actually *owns* AE Pro; someone with a
manual.  Nevertheless, AE Pro has not been awarded A+ Magazine's Reader's
Choice award three years in a row for "supposed emulation that doesn't work."
It works.

If any customer of United Software has trouble or questions with a product,
they can simply call the toll-free customer support number for help.  Anyone
who needs assistance and doesn't call for support is not using their purchase
wisely.

MouseTalk is NOT a replacement for AE Pro.  In fact, MouseTalk was developed
long before ProTerm had even been started.  Where AE Pro addressed more of a
technical audience and supports a myriad of hardware configurations for all
Apple II series computers, MouseTalk targets a more specific audience. 
MouseTalk takes advantage of the mouse and MouseText abilities of the IIGS,
IIc, and IIe to provide a more friendly, easy to use interface to a terminal
program, patterned after the Macintosh.

MouseTalk and AE Pro have always been able to emulate a variety of terminals.
In particular, MouseTalk can mimic the characteristics of the ADDS Viewpoint,
ADM 3A, DEC VT-52, DEC VT-100/102, Hazeltine 1510, Heath 19, Zenith Z19, IBM
3101, Soroc IQ-120, Standard Apple //, Standard TTY, and Televideo 910/912.

An interesting, yet unwanted bit of commentary.  Too bad you can't run
ProTerm on your VAX, eh?  I look forward to bantering with you in the future
when you have your facts straight.  Thank you.
