I've just got Windows 3, and I particularly liked the terminal program. For my use at least, it was VERY easy to use. I have found one inconsistancy: the up arrow and down arrow keys do not function as expected when I use the vt100 emulation. I've tried other emulations from DOS (Procomm VT102 & QVT vt100) where the arrow keys are mapped as would be expected. From reading the documentation, I would guess that this is a bug, or that maybe I may have set something up incorrectly ( I used the window defaults for most options). Has anybody else experienced this problem? Any solutions?

I've used the terminal program with VT100 emulation and had no problem with the cursor keys. If you were using the cursor keys on the numeric pad did you have the scroll lock on? Don't know about the cursor but the function keys require scroll lock. While on the subject of the terminal emulation, it took me some time to figure how to set up a function key so that it would send an escape key. Finally got that to work also. The sequence to represent an escape character is ":[". That's a karet (upper case 6 on an extended keyboard) followed by a left square bracket in case our, or another system, does an unexpected translation.
