Many thanks to Micheal Jenkins at University of Toronto for his
VT52 emulator.  I downloaded, modified the termcaps and it works
perfectly.  So well in fact, that I went out and bought a 1200
baud modem.  It took me a lot of searching, all of it in vain to
try and discover how the XIO commands work.  I searched all of my
manuals... but none of them had a listing of the XIO commands and,
for example, how to set the baud rate of R:.  I finally made some
intelligent(?) guesses about how to increase the speed variable
in Micheal Jenkins program (1 step at a time), and with speed set
to 3, it now works perfectly at 1200 baud.  I love it!!!!

Request:
	If anyone has a complete listing of the XIO commands, I
	would love it if they would post it.  An example of the
	difficulties I had.

	     Atari basic: list XIO 3,5,7,9,11,12,13,17,18,32,33,35
				   36,37,38,254
	     Basic A+:    ditto
	     ACTION! :    said to look in DOS XL, or OSA DOS
			  -nothing there
	     My 850 manual:  borrowed... frustration!!!

	Anyways, if somebody has a complete list, or has lots
	of tidbits, I will be more than happy to compile them
	into a comprehensive list.
