I recently tried "PLUS/TERM"(FEB.'85 COMPUTE!) in combination with 
"screen-80"(COMPUTE'S GAZETTE) and was very impressed with all the features
...i.e. 80-column upper/lower case, UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD including true ASCII to
and from buffer, disk, or screen;  many nice menu-driven features including
changing(customizing) either or both, outgoing or incoming ASCII codes.
   BUT I was disappointed to find that although if will download upper/lower
case ASCII properly via modem, it uploads only UPPER-case ASCII via RS-232
(modem). All other functions work properly in upper/lower (although, as 
hinted in COMPUTE!, I had to add   ,7   to line 1900 as a secondary address
for my MPS-802 printer).  BUT I have a letter-quality RS-232 printer, so I
am wondering if anyone can suggest any method of modifying the program to
provide upper/lower ASCII uploading via RS-232 port?  (It is not a mattter
of of a proper printer-command, because it also sends CAPS to a host com-
puter file via modem.....also, printer works fine on EASY SCRIPT word pro-
cessor).
   Also, does anyone have a TERMCAP for this program that will work on "vi"
4.2 BSD Unix?  (I reprogram the delete key to send ASCII(8) and convert
the echoed-back (8) to (20)...for backspace,  and reprogram a key to send
ESC (ASCII-27) so that it at least works in OPEN MODE "vi".
  It  works nicely at 300-baud but I could never get it to work properly
at 1200-baud.  TNX!
