Rick, Actually, the Rainbow handles ANSI graphics fine, if they're true ANSI graphics, because the VT102 that the Rainbow emulates uses ANSI escape sequences. What the Rainbow doesn't display correctly are *IBM* character sets, which are not ANSI anything. However, my communications program, QC, available in LIB3, maps some of the most common IBM line-drawing characters to the Rainbow's graphic character set. So QC will give you appropriate screen displays. I did goof, though, and failed to do anything to convert the characters in the log file. I'll try to fix that next time around.
