- It's not p/d or shareware, it's commercial (but for its usual <$30
- street price it's as cheap as most shareware) but Progressive's
- "Baud Bandit" terminal software does what you described. YOu can
- start a download (or upload for that matter) and still bring up its
- different screens and windows and interact with them, including
- opening the review buffer and scrolling back and forth in it
- to read it lines or pages at a time. YOu can even throw ARexx
- commands at it during a tranfer. All xfer protocols are built-in
- (no xpr libraries needed), features out the wazoo, and all in
- less than 88000 bytes of executable.
