This opens up a whole can of worms.  BinkleyTerm's terminal  is bare- 
bones  to  say  the  least. It's  not a  very important  part of  the 
program, and doesn't detract in any way from the use of the system.

I'd like to see an ANSI  emulation that  doesn't rely  on ANSI.SYS  - 
with Bink/2 and Bink/NT, neither provided a driver that worked in the 
console screens consistently.

There's a  glitch in  using ANSI  emulation as  a VT102  - it  mostly 
works, but there's a  clear to  EOL sequence  that some  ANSI drivers 
interpret as clear to  end of  SCREEN, making  full screen  UNIX apps 
unusable.

I like having the ability to dial by node number, so usually use Bink 
to dial, then shell out to DOS and run Procomm Plus. It  adds another 
step, but it works.

Then  there's  the  scrollback  buffer,  and  the  inability  to save 
separate capture files... :)

Like I said, it's workable and doesn't detract from the mailer, which 
is what I use Binkleyterm for.
