Register in advance. Otherwise it puts up the "Please register" dialog
box every other keystroke. The demo is for all intents and purposes,
non-functional because of this annoyance. If you don't want to
register without trying it first, the best choice is to find a
different terminal program.

FWIW, I never got it to work right. It seemed very flakey, never
responding to the same comamnd the same way twice, but with the
sharware dialogs popping up every other keystroke, I couldn't tell
what I was doing, anyway.

My recommendation would be to avoid this app.
