Hello again, NeWS-Makers!

This time, I am looking for your input on terminal emulation
facilities in NeWS.  Your recent responses to the NeWS Early Adopters
Survey (and thanks for all those replies!!) have prompted us to find
out more about what NeWS-users need in the area of terminal emulation
facilities.

Feel free to telephone me at the number below, if you prefer verbal
communication.  Thanks for your response!

This brief questionnaire is intended to determine the NeWS-based
terminal emulation requirements of X11/NeWS users.  Feedback from NeWS
users will be used by development at Sun for planning bundled and
unbundled NeWS-based emulators. Your input is very valuable, and is
greatly appreciated by Sun.

1) How satisfied are you with terminal emulators in NeWS 1.1 for
your applications? Are you "very satisfied" (3), "satisfied" (2), "somewhat
satisfied" (1) or "not satisfied" (0)?

	Satisfaction Rating:______________ (0-3)


2) What are the three major factors, based on their order of priority,
   which impact your satisfaction with NeWS-based emulators? 
   Please be as specific as possible.

3. How important are the following features of a future NeWS-based
  emulator running on X11/NeWS for your applications? Please rate each 
  feature according to the scale: "Very  Important", "Important", 
  "Somewhat Important" or "Not Important".
