Neither product, however, offer support for a 'terminfo' setup as that sort of thing is far from 'mac-like'. On the other hand their is a program from Mainstay software called Telescape which allows you to create 'termcap/terminfo' setups for any type of text-based terminal you want BUT is out of date and therefore knows NOTHING about color. Hope this helps... -- +--------------------------------------------------+ Leonard Rosenthol | GEnie : MACgician Lazerware, inc. | MacNet: MACgician UUCP: svc@well.UUCP | ALink : D0025
