Regarding good fast terminal programs (preferably with an internal text editor): I love VersaTerm. It's about $100 mail-order, is the fastest program I've seen, has a decent interface (including simple macros), is very robust, and is the best-supported program I've seen. Details XModem, YModem (no Z), Kermit comes with Comm. Toolbox tools (which you can use or not as you wish) excellent support for serial; clumsy support for Telnet and FTP (but give that time to evolve) first-rate VT100 emulation; decent Tek 4014 emulation It has an internal text editor, as you wanted, but it's a modal dialog box. I suggest using Qued and multifinder, or an editor DA (such as MockWrite). -- Russell owen@astro.washington.edu (no connection, just a very satisfied customer) P.S. VersaTerm has a more expensive brother: VersaTerm PRO. PRO adds vector-based graphics and emulates the fancy Tek 4105 (as well as the old 4014)
