It makes things much better. I have mailed my resistration fee today, but I had a friend in England who sent me some of his suggestions for improving Desterm Here's what he said: > brief thoughts for improving it: Hot keys for the menus; faster menus; > RUN/STOP on any menu brings you back to the previous menu; a scrollback > buffer, so that you can display incoming text in the bottom half of the > screen, and use the cursor keys (or some other special key) to scroll > through the past X lines of received text (this is a REALLY nice feature > to have on BBS's and the like); A "Reset all" option for the colour > colour menu to reset the colours to something sensible. Thanks again, Dan Nix djn1537@uxf.cso.uiuc.edu
