Bug fixes AND upgrades were free from the very beginning up until the layoffs

under one roof. At least the critical fixes *are* available, albeit at a
fee.

I don't think there is a workaround to the "macros on keys" bug, other than
the awkward one mentioned in the bug list:
735. Macros on Keys broken
In versions 1.1.21 through 2.1.3, when a SET [TERMINAL] KEY definition
includes a macro invocation, then pressing the key while in the
Terminal screen returns to the command screen (and in some cases might
also fail to execute the macro). A workaround would be to:
define myconnect connect /synchronous
(make the connection with SET PORT, DIAL, or SET HOST)
if success do myconnect
This is fixed in the next release.
As I said, I'm working on getting approval to issue a new release.
