     Actually, Access!'s ANSI emulation isn't good enough for use as an
ANSI terminal on the Unix boxes here, or even to use on IBM BBS systems
that use ANSI cursor placement commands. Its colour interpretation is good;
it simply doesn't handle cursor movement correctly.
     On the other hand, it does have a script language as of version 1.42
(the most recent version.) It's not a very big one (if I recall from the
documentation correctly, he plans to replace it with a "real" one later),
     I understand that if you put it to sleep (it has an "iconify" option)
that you can use one of a couple of external protocall packages to get
Zmodem. Internally, it has Xmodem, Xmodem/CRC, and WXmodem (which is
really handy on packet-switched networks...)
                                                  - R'ykandar.
