>[lots of deleted stuff about RR 9.2 emulating a VT100 perfectly]

I've tried RR 9.2 and Versaterm 2.0, and VT beats RR hands down in my 
particular usage (mostly vi editing, rn'ing, etc.). The main difference is
in the "diamond-shaped mouse cursor," where you move the cursor where you
want it with the mouse, click, and the system cursor goes to that point. In
RR, it is S-L-O-W...  VT's cursor is VERY fast. If you wanna go back up a few
lines and delete/insert or whatever, it's just zip-click-zip-rattle-rattle!

So far, the VT emulator has been flawless.
