I access my schools mainframe with my amiga 500 with 1 meg and 2 floppies via modem and have been trying to find a term Im most comfortable with. My friend uses VLT to do this on his 3000 and while I like the fact he can use his arrow keys easily, I hate the look of VLT, it seems clumsier than Jrcomm <and I just cant seem to get VLT to run, Im missing a few library files and on a copy I once used even though I had the xprzmodem library (since deleted) vlt told me it couldnt find that file and would not do Zmodem Xfers> and I've had lots of problems running VLT as I just mentioned, however with Jrcomm I dont know how to use the cursor keys like my friend does with VLT and I have to clear the screen so that JRcomm will format the incoming data correctly. My terminal is in interlaced mode <i use vt100 for jrcomm, i tried vt102 once and i had quite a few bugs with it> and on cunix, i have my terminal set to 40 rows but until I hit right-amiga-X, it appears as if my terminal is in "forced 80x25" mode when it isn't. can anyone give me any recommendations on what to do, etc, what programs to use, etc.? <I also like how on VLT when I have it set to Ansi mode, RN looks colorful. And last but not least when using jrcomm when I have the vt-10X set to "Custom Pallette" the screen constantly flashes. Why?> This is a test sig under construction

Do yourself a favor and pick up NComm v1.92. It is MUCH better than JR-Comm and emulates vt-100 damn well. Also, there is no silly delay screen popping up at bad moments messing up your work.
