Thanks.  That works.  Incidentally...is it just me, or is there no general
setup wizard per se, where you can have default settings and then just
modify the hostname or phone number?  I've set one up by hand, including
all the colour setups, etc., and fire that up, change what I need, and save
out a different definition file.  It works, but it's a bit clunky.  Now
that I know the config files are in ASCII, perhaps I'll just copy end edit
though.

For the half-duplex, yes.  I still don't know why it's getting the idea
it has to re-set to full-duplex when it's already there.  I used Chad's
supplied entries for regular and fP termcaps (which were supposed to be
known-good) and it -still- thinks the duplex is being set from somewhere.
Since there's no longer any indication that I ever go to half-duplex, I'm
just going to disable the save changes box and have done.  I don't care
past that.

Now if only I could get rid of the extra space reserved for the status
bar or ruler when I turn both off...  It's very odd seeing a terminal that
stops a line short of the window boundary, as if you have an undersized
terminal setting for ROWS.  I haven't worked with anything that acted like
that since about 1991 on a Z-29.  Just went through the advanced options
as well, and nothing's jumping out at me, as nothing did in the main
options before.  When I disable something, I kinda don't expect it to keep
reserving the room for it.

For what I'm going to use it for, good enough.  I wanted something with
solid SCO emulation, for one.  But mostly I wanted it for dialup systems,
since NetTerm became too much of a PITA when I updated Windows from 95 to
2000--it wouldn't use TAPI anymore.  I still have some clients who have
clients that refuse to move into the modern age and dump their dialup,
unfortunately.  This helps with that, since HyperTerm...blows chunks,
basically.
