Telemate 3.01 3 January, 1992

We are now "White River Software", owned by the author. Please support
the shareware concept so that we can continue to improve and support
Telemate.
In this release, we add a new dialog manager, Avatar 0+, internal Kermit,
enhanced script language and a lot of convenient functions such as file
name tagging, auto redial, keystroke macro sequence and screen saver.

You can select a space (for PCBoard, QBBS, etc), a carriage return
