First some questions:
1) What is the line of dots across the top of the window for?
2) Has anyone succesfully macput a file (I am using Dave Johnson's
newest version for the beta macterminal) over a TELNET login? I
can't seem to get the right combination of transparent mode or
whatever is needed. I'd appreciate the help.
Some comments:
1) It looks like the clear to end of line function is broken. Sometimes
it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm not sure, but it might only
be on the first line that it breaks.
2) After running macterminal and exiting without "saving the current
document" and then re-launching that document, macterminal complains
that the document has been trashed (by another program). What does
saving the current document imply? I though it meant whether I wanted
to keep the text of the last screenful and/or lines off top around for
the next time.
3) Too many alert boxes! Yes I'm sure I want to clear lines off top....
Perhaps an option to disable this verbose confimation would be useful.
Also, it is not clear whether YES or NO is the default button selected
when I hit the return key.
3) The tabs ruler is inconsistent with the tabs ruler used in Macwrite. I'm
not saying one is better than the other, just that I thought a consistent
view is what the user interface guidelines are all about.
