of course ProTERM does screen updates faster - it's a text only
application, and ANSIterm uses the SHR screen.  Still, it updates faster
than I can read, and that's what really counts (yes, I'm a fairly fast
reader)

More importantly, ANSIterm looks GOOD using ANSI.  Unlike ANY other
commercial communications software for the IIGS (Snowterm looks good too,
but it doesn't do file transfers).

But don't get me wrong.. I want a SS so badly I'm shaking
