Well, it seems that the old news reader, for scrolling down in the text, would send ANSI (ok, ok.. VT-102) codes to scroll the lines up, add a blank at the bottom, and then it would put the new line in the blank.. Very efficient use of VT-100.. Now it seems that this new and improved reader does not use VT-xx codes (I even changed over to VT-220 and set terminal/inquire'd) to scroll the text, but rather just reprints the whole screen from line 1 (or wherever it started). Very inefficient. Hopefully this feature will be put back in.. MrAmericaWalkOnByYourSchoolsThatDoNotTeachMrAmericaWalkOnByTheMindsThatWon'tBe [] Brian J.
