Sorry Spencer, I can't help you with the extended keyboard but I would like to
add that I too am trying out DGTERM and I like the idea but I have some 
problems I would like to see if others share.

1)  I cannot get the xmodem transfer to function (download or upload)
    It starts to transfer and then error...error....error.

2)  If I start a transfer and switch to the background it causes the system
    to freeze and I have to do a cold boot and I loss my communication line :-(

3)  Every once in the while the system just freezes for no apparent reason
    forcing a reboot :-(

The VT-100 emulation is pretty good as long as I don't transfer and I like its
small size.  At first I thought it was other TSR's that were the problem but I 
get the same problems with a "CLEAN" boot.  As it stands now I will continue 
to use Procomm but would be willing to buy DGTERM if the background transfers 
worked properly.

This is a "NEAT" little program -- Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
ANY SUGGESTIONS......
