I am writing this with version 2.4.2, just released, and have to say that the
line wrap problem has been alleviated, tho not completely cured. Using vi, the
text will either jump down two lines or reverse feed one line if one tries to
write off the end of the line. A ^L clears it all up... minor, but annoying.
More serious is the inability of PROCOMM to use kermit to transfer binaries in
a consistant fashion. The LF to CR/LF problem can be fixed from the setup menu
in the terminal section. In spite of this, binaries are a hit or miss
proposition at best. Text kermit xfer's up and down work admirably...(sigh).
