    That scrollback thing really irks me (showing the raw data rather
than the emulated screens).  Seven Hills said they did it that way so
macro programmers could more easily see hidden control characters in the
data stream.  They did say it would be changed to a more conventional
scrollback in the next revision (and knowing Seven Hills' track record
on updating major apps, it could be a while...)

    I would be very surprised if 1.0 of any comm program could live up
to Proterm's standards.
