Glad you like it!  I think a little clarification is in order though.

Tony is the one who's done all of the work on vt100 for the last two
releases (with considerable input, suggestions, bug reports and fixes,
etc., from many people on the net).

My contribution to vt100 has been limited to offering a "few" suggestions
(right, Tony :-) ), and testing new versions.  Seems I have a knack for
breaking things.  Fortunately, I get *paid* to do that, too (I'm in the
Diagnostics Development group here at Amdahl).  Unfortunately, there
just isn't enough time to hit *everything*, so there are still some bugs
lurking about (this is also known as "job security" :-) ).

WRT the ARexx interface ... I know Tony is considering it.  If it does
go in, I may be able to contribute a little more to that effort, having
done one ARexx interface already (to Matt's "dme" editor).
