Unfortunately, it didn't include specs for the insert/delete capabilities. I've added them, and it all seems to work. It's MUCH faster than what I was using before, a modified vt132 from jkf@berkeley. The only problem I've seen with this is in vi -- when inserting characters as fast as the Mac can send them, the somebody loses track of what the screen should look like, and it gets confused. This happens when the repeat speed is set to 3 or 4; I use 2 and don't have any problems. The characters all seem to get there, cause a refresh shows the correct information. Emacs works fine under the same circumstances. I was really sad to have to add a delay to the insert line characteristic (al), but had problems with emacs losing the first characters on lines when scrolling. It may be possible to squeeze out delays elsewhere; I didn't play with it very long. If you do squeeze more out, please let everyone know. Cheers, chris ----------
