Thanks for your reply.

I received the demo copy today. I was immediately struck by the non-CUA
compliant screens, primarily because I have studied interface issues. I
have trouble trusting a program that didn't bother getting the interface
right; I generally assume that they made other mistakes (and have been
disappointed to be right about that). Have you encountered any bugs,
problems, limitations? For instance, while examining the HP ARPA ftp
server in a RUMBA HP session, I selected some text, chose print, and
RUMBA GPFd, leaving my session alive on the 3K. Reflection never GPFd
for me under Win 3.x or 95. although there were times that I could not
print from a session, probably due to network problems (starting a new
instance cleared that).

We are also looking at MiniSoft's NP92 for printing; any experience
there?

Opinions are my own.
