 I am a very new user to the Usenet, so I hope I can get some help
 from the other numerous Commodore users here.  I currently use a
 Commodore 128 from home to connect to the Usenet.  I have many
 problems with terminal emulation.  When I try to edit an Usenet
 post, the emulation seems to be nil.  I have tried the VT100
 emulator on the Common Sence disk.  It isn't too bad in normal cases,
 but will not work with VI or Vnews.  I also use BobsTerm.
 The VT100 emulator is really bad, but the VT52 isn't too bad.  I still
 have problems with it, it won't edit on Usenet, but Emacs works, and
 so do several other editors.  I just can't use Vnews or
 VI without problems.  I have to assume that with so many Commodore
 users, more people aren't having the problems I do.  Basically,
 the three terminal emulators I have are garbage.  Just too many
 problems from them all.

 Could someone please recommend a good terminal emulator for either
the 128 or CP/M?  I would prefer the 128, but for decent terminal
emulation, loading CP/M is no problem.  Thanks in advance for any
suggestions.
