(I don't seem to have the mail address of the person who has been updating
 VT100 (Tony Sumrall?))

Something I just noticed is that the cursorflip() routine in VT100 doesn't
invert an area that's exactly 8 x 8, but one slightly larger. Could this be
changed so that only the area of a single character was flipped? This would
simplify the task of recognizing a letter covered by the cursor in TSnip.

The version of VT100 I'm working with is 2.8, so I don't know if this is
different in 2.9. Has 2.9 been released? If not then another handy feature
would be "Open/Close Serial Device" menu options so that VT100 could remain
running while other terminal programs were being tested or used. I know
flexible serial device support is a priority for new VT100 versions but I
wasn't sure if that point had been brought up.
