   I thought both current VersaTerm users and other people who do terminal 
emulation would be excited to know that the latest release of VersaTerm
supports full operation in background under MultiFinder. This means that
you can receive information from the remote system exactly as if you were
running in the foreground. This support includes full file transfer either
to or from your remote system in background. VersaTerm under Multifinder
includes many nice touches including automatic zoomdown of the terminal
window when transfering files so you can easily click in the application 
you wish to work with when you are transfering files. I've grown accustomed
to having VersaTerm connected to our mainframe at all times so if I receive
mail or interactive messages from other users, I get the usual beep when
they arrive (just like in the foreground) and I can click in the VersaTerm
window, check the new information, then click back in the other application
and go back to work. The new versions which support MultiFinder in this
method of operation are VersaTerm 3.1 and VersaTerm Pro 2.1. It is just
yet another reason to go with VersaTerm in my opinion.
   I don't want to add to the debate about multitasking here but this is
multitasking if you ask me. It may not be the best form of multitasksing or
suit everybody's taste but I'm glad this increased functionality exists.
