Joe, I wrote Xterm3 and have used it to download several programs, but some people seem to be having problems with it. Could you let me know if you have any trouble? I already know it hangs up a lot, and I am working on a fix to thet problem as well as adding a bigger buffer and upload capability. If you have any suggestions for improvments I am more than willing to listen, but I'm not going to get *too* fancy until I get either MSBASIC or a 'C' compiler… PS. When the program hangs, just tap the space bar and it will resume just fine. It hangs because there is no timeout in the routine to recieve a character, and I have fixed this in the newest version (which isn't ready for release yet). Xterm3 wasn't really ready for the public, but I figured anything was better than nothing… — Kaelin C. Enter command, N for next message or <CR> for menu : n
