[comp.sys.mac.apps] NCSA TelNet New Version

I didn't save the recent posting by the developers
of NCSA TelNet who are in final beta testing of a
new version. I hope they read this group.

One of the most annoying "features" (it acts like
a bug to me) of version 2.3 is that the cursor
periodically changes. Since I do considerable
dragging while in NCSA Telnet to print or to
use my clipboard to save text, large fuzzy cursors
that replace the crosshairs make it difficult to
correctly position the cursor to highlight exactly
what is desired.

I hope the new version will at least make this
feature optional. I was informed by UC Berkeley's
workstation support people that it was built into
version 2.3.
