1) works well with VI(1) [character/line insert/delete, etc]. 2) small screen enclosure (9" screen would be great) 3) Long keyboard cord, or non-physical keyboard link (Infra-Red or whatever) 4) reasonable cost (<$1000) It is my intention to suspend the screen/interface/electronics portion above my desk (on a shelf, probably) and have the keyboard tucked nearby for lap or desktop use.

Hear that DEC? I hate your VT220 keyboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why couldn't you leave well enough (VT100) alone? -- This is my opinion, I guess.

Phil calm down. I thought we agreed that any posting with more than 2 !'s per line was for net.flame only. Mike @ AMDCAD P.S. Thought you were in Texas.
