I don't know anymore, I gave up on it in the sixes, and the tens didn't look
any better, only more confusing...

Well.....Kermit is nice, even great, tons of features is great, scripting
up the butt is great, but I need vt100, Macterminal 1.1 (UNIX, eh?), and
Macbinary.  I use autolog to log me onto things I don't want to dial over and
over, and the one feature I will not give up, no matter what else I get, is
Record lines off top.  I DONT want XXX damn screens off top,
I DONT want capture files.

I want to be able to create a document and scroll lines off the top onto the 
disk, and fill the disk if I please. 

I have not seen a terminal program yet that
will allow me to do this simple thing as well as MacTerminal.  Well, CDC connect
let me do it with a keyboard shortcut, but it didn't have MacTerminal 1.1 (sigh)

So you can argue features all you want, and I'll sit here and suffer through no
keyboard shortcuts, no kermit, no zoom box, no (whatever else there is)
just because I can't get along without this one stupid feature....Oh, and if
RR did happen to do this the way I want, it would take too long to figure out
where it is!  Talk about crowded dialog boxes...
