But you'd think (or at least hope) that the program would check to see
if the file still existed before listing it as available.  And
personally, I think it's annoying.  I know that a lot of programs do it,
but I still don't like it, especially when they list files that no
longer exist.

No.  I've tried several others that do fairly well.  They may scroll
slowly (because they try to do a smooth scroll rather than a full line
at a time), but at least they print the text out at an even rate. TMW
scrolls well, but prints out jerkily. Even on a clear terminal screen,
with the cursor at the top, if I type AT&V it will print out several
lines at a time, pause, several more, etc.  No other windows comm
program I've tried behaves that way.

If I know in advance that I'm going to be doing to/from a directory on a
regular basis. This time though it was a one time deal.  I had simply
zipped up some stuff in a 'temp' directory and decided to upload it to
attatch it to a message.  I knew I could have typed the full path when I
did it, but I figured that tagging the file would certainly remember
where it was at.
GV>  CB> 6:  How the heck do I get rid of the scroll bars in the terminal?
GV>  I think you answered your probem :)
Not really.  What I described is more of a work around than a solution.
The screen fits fine before connect, and after I reset it after a
connect, so why does simply connecting screw it up?
TMW1.00 looks like it has some promise, but I think I may wait for the
1.02 version at least.  To me, there is no difference between 1.00 and
Beta, and I don't really like paying money to be a beta tester.  I think
I'm going to wait a bit before using it some more or think about
registering.  Of course, by then the price will have gone up and it
won't be as attractive as other window comm programs in that new price
range.
