But you better have good eyes. On the recent announcements that White Pine send out about Mac220 (their VT220 emulator) and Mac241 (COLOR VT241 emulator), there was a picture on the front of the brochure that showed a VT220 window that was twice as long as it was wide. I would guess that it was at least 50 lines long. And if I remember right, they were editing a Pascal program in it using a DECnet CTERM connection that supports multiple sessions, so there were several windows on the screen, each being a different size... If anyone knows just exactly what this is, let me know. By the way, I use the Mac240 product very much. It is a very good package. The ReGIS graphics aren't as exact as they need to be at times, but all of the other features make it worth the while, especially at educational discounts. I must confess, though, that my situation is stable: I have one serial line that runs at 19200 bps that I use to connect to any one of the campus mainframes, so I never have to change from the settings for that line. I also have a modem, but I only use that for AppleLink. -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
