I'm looking for information on a good telecommunicatios program for windows. I'm looking for all the standard features but most important is having the caputer buffer in memory and I want it easy to get too, like a click of a mouse button or a quick key stroke. As I'm new to the dos world I'd like everyones input. Is crosstalk the one? or procomm and non-windows? Thanks Matthew -- But I still like my ST...

Try the Terminal program that comes with Windows 3.0. You can install it as a 'program item' after you set it up for Portal and it will show up on your desktop with the 'Terminal' icon with the name 'Portal' or whatever you choose to name it. Using Windows Terminal also has another advantage; that is you can copy and paste between any of the Windows editors like Write or Word directly into the Portal screen. This is a nice alternative to vi or ed. You can also set the Windows Terminal screen buffer to 256 lines,which is the max for the Portal 'form'. So set up forms general to the 'line' mode and the 'y' parameter to 256(that's lines), and set Windows screen buffer to 256(lines), and you can compose doc.'s in a Windows editor(I use Notepad or Write) that are up to 256 lines and paste them right into the Portal screen. That's how I wrote and edited this article with Windows Notepad. Chris_Nielsen
