Maybe I can talk with SB> them and see how they have their system set up and see if I can SB> get it working better. Some screens talk, while others don't. SB> You can always read the current line, so who knows. Will keep SB> you posted. SB> Steve/ 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. ...

SB> Steve 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. ...

Index Number: 13429 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] 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.
