        Big editor is very nice, the color is too (but I wish he'd just use a
true grey, black, and white for VT100 instead of that dithered grey shit).  I
can't comment on the macro language, except that if GEnie access is
important, GEM and CoPilot work under ProTERM and not under ANSITerm (though
that might change, for all I know).  PT sells for <$80 mail order.
