i just got WK a few weeks ago, and have had a little time to
work with it (repeat: little)... what i will say is that
the program is most powerful, for those that want an ultra
hacking terminal emulator, i.e. to use its power, you need
to hack.  other than that, it is by far the most impressive
terminal emulator on the planet.

one feature that is missing, that i just couldn't believe
isn't there (so i called the tech support people) is that
you can't have any more than 24 rows, on your vt1*.  that's
a real bummer.  sure you can stretch the screen to whatever,
but don't expect WK to place the cursor in any meaningful
location.  its reported that >24 rows will be supported in
a futre release.

as i hack around w/ it (this weekend i plan on doing more),
i'll add any more caveats that i come across.

WK is an excellent program.  rep
