Someone asked about VT-100 for the Apple. Last night I had the chance to try using ProTerm 1.9p in the VT-100 mode with nexis/lexis. It appeared to handle all of the proper screen formatting on my end. It did the screen highlighting, and cursor positioning quite well, however when I checked into the copy buffer, I found that it allowed all of the screen formating commands in as text characters (ie: it looked as though you were on VT-100 system with no emulation.) On the other hand the scroll back buffer was clean of all that mess. So I guess it is good for viewing, but a monster if you are trying to capture what you see for further usage. Regarding the day of the week being off in Prosel 3.0, Glen Bredon realized what was happening and has already fixed it with the new release of Prosel 3.2 and several of the utilities that go along with it. Come to think of it, it could now be Prosel 3.3, whichever, it was released on Jan 3 by Bredon, and can be obtained by registered owners direct from him, or via any of the other methods he uses for distribution.

I am confused - what did you expect ProTerm to do when capturing menus, etc. as a Vt100? I dont know of a true terminal emulator which DOESNT work like that. P.S. is ProTerm 1.9 actually shipping? Can 2.0 be far behind.. -- Larry W.
