- Sorry - I don't know what magic you're working, but I used this on the set-

- on my little A500 at home... and the A2000 there is A vERY BASIC
- 2000 with HD and 2.04 ROMs (and three megs of memory...)

- THis doesn't impress me, for two good reasons: 1) I have YET to have transfer
- problems with Term 2.4xx; I would still be on Term if it could handle
- VI editors correctly... and 2) since XComm would not stay stable long
- enough for me to complete a full download, the point is moot...

- XComm iconified beautifully, and even added the Tools item (gotta love it),
- but I tried running external emulations, and the program loaded the
- library, tried to reconfigure/regenerate the screen, and choked -
- BAM! Big GURU.
