	You DON'T have to log off!!  Just select Quit ProTerm and you'll
get back to the Finder (or whatever previous application that launched
PT) with your modem still online.  Then just run your editor, edit the
file and rerun PT again.  You'll get an error message during startup
that PT cannot initialize modem with various options (retry, online,
install).  Select ONLINE and set the correct baud rate, terminal
emulation and DON'T FORGET to activate the ONLINE option in the same
dialog box.  After that, you'll be back to where you first were.

	This works very well for me 'coz I find that logging off and
redialing again when I'm back to PT is a waste of time as the line is
probably engaged and it'll take me ages b4 I can get back online again.
In fact, I've used this method to hog lines for more than 10 hours but I
can still use my GS "normally" in the mean time to run Finder, GS/OS
applications, FTA demos, etc....  Try doing that with a PC!
