 The idiot who wrote it, claims that it is another TELIX. Bullshit.
It's another M$ Terminal...

 Even after he *copied* the TELIX layout, he managed to stuff
that too! Instead of just ALT-X to get out, he uses ALT-A X. Why the
hell add another keystroke?

 That's great, if you have a spare month to set it up... maybe you've
forgotten the Bill Grimsley saga.

 Who cares? All I'll have on the Linux-box is Linux, mail, and a
duplicate Windows. I have two independent drives on each box anyway.
