Just my two cents worth but I use reflection to grab columns all the time by
using control and the mouse.

I can't let that one go by either Max.  What do you mean setting function
keys is more limited?  What are you trying to do, load Excel into a
function key?

Selecting and printing under minisoft is more sohpisticated than
Reflection.  They actually allow columnar selection when dragging the
bounding box around your selection, you can't do that in Reflection.  Maybe
you don't select your text correctly.

I've used Minisoft for 10 years and don't recall having an instance of it
substituting lines when listing a file.

etc etc. what might that be?

Can't let that go by.  Minisoft works ok if you don't stress it.  If you
want to do anything special, you can't.  A few examples:
*  setting function keys is much more limited than Reflection
*  when you print the screen, the cursor ends in a stupid place
*  when you list a file, lines are substituted for others
*  etc, etc.

True.  Go for the extra $ for your power users!
