<nostalgia and possible plug alert>
While I have nothing against Reflection - indeed I use it on a daily basis,
I still have the fondest memories of a product from (pre Unison) Tymlabs,
called Business Session. This product had what continues to be (as far as i
can tell) a unique feature. There was a CopyWindow command on the edit menu,
which allowed a clipboard copy of the Window that defined the terminal
display, plus the function keys. No other product I've used has provided
this functionality.
The results were perfect for both terminal and PC type displays, because
there was nothing to indicate what the inderlying display platform was. I
have create many volumes of documentation using this product, and it remains
one of my favourites. I don't know if it is still for sale, or supported,
but if you need to create screen-shot documentation for the Hp3000 it is
sufficiently useful to justify the price, in my mind! Plus, the support I
received for the product was a model of perfection and customer focus!
</nostalgia, teary eyed!>
