Hi Steve; Well with a program like smartterm, you wouldn't really
want it to go through the bios and talk all the time. The main
thing is that you should be able to navigate from field to field
without confusion. If there are areas of the screen you want to
read quickly you should then make windows to read them. I did not
realize that you were going to use artic when you originally asked
about smartterm. I haven't done a smartterm install with artic.I
personally feel that artic can limit you and be a bit awkward but
keep me posted. Thanks.

Well Steve I haven't received my copy of artic 3.0 yet, but youhave hit
on one of the reasons I don't like 2.1.
It doesn't allow you to perform screen monitoring.
I think that problem at least will be solved with 3.0.

Don, I talked with Artic yesterday on a matter and they said that 3.0
has some bugs that they are working on. They are already saying that
3.1 will probably be released around March 1st. I have not ordered
myupgarde yet but now may wait.
The people at SmartTerm (or actually PerSoft) are going to work with
me to see what they can do about screen writing. They are sure
interested and willing to help out.
