Well, today I picked up my copy of MacTerminal 2.2, installed it on my hard
disk, filled in all my settings in the "Settings" dialogs (mine are considerably
different than the defaults), and then tried to save the configuration state.

WHOOPS!  Where's the "Save Configuration.." menu item?

I always preferred to double-click on MacTerm and open a new window with my
favorite settings, rather than having to double-click a configuration document
and then having to remember to "Save as.."  something else.

Also, since I use an error-correcting modem, it is convenient to do downloads
with a simple 'cat' commmand into the MacTerm text window, saving lines off
the top, and then saving the scrolled text.  With the old Macterm, I could close
the window and quickly select a "New" window without changing my terminal
settings.

Two questions (Apple, are you listening?):

1) Why did the "Save Configuration.." menu item get trashed in version 2.2?  

2) Is it possible to hack my favorite settings into MacTerm as defaults?
   Since there are so many settings with who-knows-what-kind-of encoding,
   I would guess that this is no simple project.

BTW, you may be wondering why, with all the fancy communications programs 
available for the Mac, I am still using MacTerminal.  The answer is that I
have tried quite a few alternatives (eg. Red Ryder, Microphone,
InTalk/InTouch, and Versaterm) and found that, for the things that I do,
MacTerminal provided the fastest file transfers and fewest hassles.  I can
live without the gongs and whistles.
