Because of the fact that most Amiga users are frustrated with the fact that
its difficult to use the serial port for modem communications, I decided to
repost the Terminal Emulation Program address.

          I've seen a Demo and it looks pretty complete.  You may want to call
          and leave you phone number, so that they can let you know when it will
          be released.


          Other tid-bits

          I've heard and not confirmed a rumor that Amiga has been sending all
          Amiga owners a new BASIC and that that basic will support all Mac-Basic
          commands.

Q.        When using workbench and other iconed-menus, I've noted as I switch
          between programs, that when I release a program, that I never seem
          to regain the original amount of free memory.  After a few switches,
          I run out of memory to run a program which ran fine just after boot-up.

Q.        Can someone from Amiga, that is on-line, post all the syntax and option
          parameters used for all of the tools used in directory 'c'.  I am
          sure that this is in the DOS manual, but their not released, and I am
          getting frustrated.

          Anywho... just got my Amiga-Tutor disk in the mail and am impressed
          with the graphics.  The Dos tutor does hang up on a 256K machine
          The Tutor is just the key to get my wife started on the Amiga.

          Good Shooting Amiga
