I have noticed a strange incompatibility with ZTerm 0.75 and the Multifinder. When using the ZTerm under Multifinder, without having anything special going on in the background (just GIFfer and StuffIt) the ZTerm font without any provocation suddenly changed into a scaled-down Helvetica (or whatever you call that sans-serif font you get with the system). At the time I *think* the machine that was online sent a "inverse-field" ESCape sequence. But I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the happening. I had to restart ZTerm to get it OK again... it's no fun trying to use a remote computer with a relative-width font ! I've had this happen a couple of times to me now, so I'm sure it's nothing random (bad ESC sequences or such). Anyone know what's happening ? Otto J.

Yes I have had these same problems with ZTerm 0.75 and Multifinder. The font changes to some other, sometimes after file transfer, sometimes after more? -question in more ... I can not gues what is the original cause. Cound the Author add vt200 -keyboard previous screen, next screen, Do, Help, select, Insert, Remove -keys to the program. I have been using VAX/VMS eve and Unix Emacs and I miss these nice keys a lot on my new MacII when I have this ceyboard with those keys (but they do not work on ZTerm 0.75) Seppo Kallio University of Jyvaskyla

Although the font did not switch in this case, when I was in Word, the option key did not work properly. ZTerm uses option as control, but it seems that the remapping somehow remained in effect when I was in Word. As soon as I quit ZTerm, option characters worked again in Word.

I too think that a strange escape sequence is causing the problem, as it happened to me under similiar circumstances.

I have not noticed Dave Alverson's presence on the net, but he is active on FidoNet's EchoMac section, and has respoonded to bug reports and suggestions for ZTerm on EchoMac. I've copied the messages regarding this problem and will forward them to Dave Alverson via EchoMac. He seems quite responsive to mail regarding ZTerm.
