version of it. scrolls text instead of wrapping it; doesn't show
random old english and runic characters for delete symbols on another
terminal; allows you to shell back to a prompt during a session (to
the great annoyance of people with whom i'm ytalking, hehe); &c.
that's all i've found about it in the month or two i've been using it,
and it's been a great help in accounting for different terminal types
from costa rica to austria and all the internet cafes in between.
