Mac Parallels and the Delete key

[Bruce Easton]

I said I didn't work in color.  I don't think there is an actual problem 
with using filepro formats defined in color.  I just find it easier to read.

Also, in the preferences for Mac's terminal program, you would need, 
under the Advanced tab, the character encoding to be set to "Latin-US 
(DOS)".  Under the Shell tab, for the Run command, an entry can look like:

ssh user@###.###.###.### pnnn    or
telnet ###.###.###.### pnnn

with the port# if needed after a space after the IP addr/domain
