This is quite a valid point. The Digital reference book I have does
not list VT102 protocol information. Any idea where I might find such
a reference?

Since I have a hard drive, the speed isn't that noticeable to me,
which could be a problem. Maybe I should split the stuff into smaller
files. But then it's a tradeoff-faster load times, but loads more
often.

In any case, the organization could almost certainly be improved. I
essentially whipped those screens up in two weekends. The only way I
can really improve them, though, is with user feedback. Rather than
just saying things are tough to find, could you please give me some
specific details about what was confusing or awkward?
