[fa.info-mac] MacTerminal Version .5

I have found a few interesting quirks in my copy of Macterminal (version 0.5).

First off, it doesn't seem possible to launch MacTreminal by double clicking
a Macterminal Document.  I haven't checked it's documents with set file yet, 
but has anyone else seen this behaviour??  (Error: `Can't find an application
to open this file....')  Also, MacTerminal Documents from the older -0.15X
version are incompatible with the newer 0.5 version.

Secondly, Apple has switched from Modem7 to Xmodem for their xfer protocol.
When I tried to transfer files from one of our Unix(4.2bsd) Vaxen using the NEW
versions of Macput/get, I got lots of GetBlk Errors from Macterminal.  has 
anyone else seen that? (The transfer ultimately FAILS.)

Also, Terminal doesn't seem to remember when you tell it *NOT* to save lines
off top. Even if you did a ``save'' right after you selected that option.
