Online has serious problems with cusor positioning when the line wraps at the 80th column. Also, I seem to remember that it won't handle scrolled regions well, at all. You'll have to forgive my memory since I haven't used it since I found that other programs work so much better. --- Cal // Cal Jones - Internet: <Jones@UV4.Eglin.AF.Mil> \X/ BBS: 904-243-6219 1200-9600HST 340Meg, all Amiga Single Tasking? *JUST SAY NO!!!*

Handshake 2.12a is *by far* the *best* VT100 emulator I've used for communicating with a BSD Gould machine and a Vax 6320. It's available at abcfd20. -- John M.
