I don't know if this is the right conference to talk about this, but 
I just switched to the "terminal" program within Windows and everything
seems easier and faster than in the BitCom software which was supplied
with my modem.

The problem with less than 80 columns wasn't noticed by me, probably because
all the conference lingo is "entered" before the end due to lack of line-
wrap.  I checked it out and yes, it falls short.  You can configure the
font, but the next smaller font is too small to read easily.

I have had trouble with its vt100 emulation also. Perhaps you may notice
if you use it with lynx, or full-screen editors. It's usable, but far
from ideal.

I had used it, but not noticed.  Then again,  I am just learning and I think
everything that goes wrong is from my error.  What did you experience with
the VT100 emulation?  (Thanks)

As I recall I had trouble under lynx, when it would go to repaint
it would not clear the screen properly, which left a bit of a mess.
It seemed to leave some highlighted words from previous screens, which got
confusing on occasion. It's been a while, though.

It did that to me on a few occasions, as well.  Why did this happen?

Bad vt100 emulation. I never get that problem running a good one, like
Kermit. (I run MacKermit.)
