Ok, I appreciate the help I've recieved thus far about Desterm 1.02 and the Color 80 cols cable. Now I have 2 other questions about terms: 1- Will desterm 2.0 allow for macros where a cursor return can be used? is there a term program <with ANSI preferable> that will allow me to do the following?: <I hit the macro key and the following appears> shie <return> pha 0 3 <return> clo <return> mis a 5000 <return> shi <return> clo <return> the reason is because of a game I saw on a galacticomm where the only way to win is if you have macros that can do the above. the macros on the current verson of desterm does not allow me to send a return, unless it does and I dont know how to do so. 2- a friend of mine tells me that the full functioning dialogue 128 has "post script files" or something like that. what it essentially is, is a way to "porgram" your term into performing various commands so that you can logon a BBS and perform varios tasks, all via macros. will desterm 2.0 have this? if not, does anyone know for sure if dialogue 128 has these features and how it is accessable/usable? thanks in advance -Mark Dolengo

If you want more detail, drop me a line. -- dg@pallio.UUCP - David Goodenough +---+ IHS | +-+-+ ..... !harvard!xait!pallio!dg +-+-+ | AKA: dg%pallio.uucp@xait.xerox.com +---+
