	This "change size without clear screen" feature is also
found on the Wyse wy85 terminal (and, I believe, another vt2xx clone
made bye some company called Draco I believe.)  True, it would be a nice
feature to have, but admittedly not one that I'd die without. :-)

	I have been following this discussion, and if there is one
thing that I'd like to see (maybe this is in 2.0, I only have 1.8 as of
yet, and am looking for an arpa/uucp/ftp archive for 2.0) is a small
editor, perhaps in a window, that would allow one to edit a small file
while still on-line (without leaving Uniterm.)  This is the only feature
of FLASH! that I haven't seen Uniterm sufficiently beat the hell out of.
(As far as I am concerned, I have never seen such a nice term package as,
Uniterm, commerical or otherwise, including Procomm for the PCs, a nice
program in its own right.)

	Thanks again for Simon for making the world, at least the world
of ST, a bit of a nicer place.
