     ---------------------------------------------------------------------


        ANSITerm Telecommunications Software will soon be going to version 1.1.
Version 1.1 includes several new features and enhancements over the current
1.0x versions.  Below is a list of some of the new features:

        -       Support for all 16 colors in ANSI emulation, including both
                normal and bright colors.

        -       Support for cursor movement in ANSI emulation.  You can now
                use the arrow keys to send the ANSI equivalents of up/down/
                left/right cursor movements.  This means that you can now
                use full-screen ANSI editors that many BBSs support.  The
                delete key will now send a backspace (control-H) to be more
                compatible with PC boards.  

        -       OA-K command (default colors) now works for ANSI emulation.
                The colors you choose as default will be used whenever the
                program is booted to ANSI emulation, whenever ANSI emulation
                is chosen with the OA-M command or through the dialing
                directory, or whenever the attribute/default ANSI command
                (<ESC>0m) is received.  You can also change your default 
                background color to any of the 16 ANSI colors (standard ANSI
                only gives you 8 background colors).

        -       New command.  Hitting Open Apple and either the dash ("-") or
                underscore character will toggle the cursor on or off.  This
                feature is handy when playing ANSI games or viewing ANSI
                formatted text files so you don't have to see the cursor
                flashing around the screen at you.

        -       The line edit fields have been improved.  Field editing will
                now allow you to edit the existing text instead of defaulting
                to a blank field.  Also, field editing now supports several new
                control commands:
                        Forward Arrow moves the cursor to the right in the
                                field.
                        Back Arrow moves the cursor to the left.
                        Delete will delete the character to the left of the
                                cursor and move the text and cursor left.
                        Control-D will delete the character under the cursor
                                and move the text left.
                        Control-F will insert a space at the cursor and move
                                the text right.

        -       New dialing directory format.  The field lengths in the
                dialing directory have been altered.  The name field has been
                shrunk down to 20 characters (more than enough), while the
                phone number field has been increased to 31 characters.  This
                will allow you to have a phone number almost twice as long
                as before in case you have a long distance service that
                requires multiple phone numbers or delays.

        -       The file dialog windows now support page up and page down.
                As with other scrollbable windows, just hit OA-up or OA-down
                to scroll through files a page at a time.

        -       I have included a new modem driver for the Supra V.32bis
                modem.  

        ANSITerm 1.1 is now in beta test and should be released within the
month.  All current purchasers of ANSITerm will be given a free upgrade to 1.1
when it is released.  All other registered ANSITerm licensees will be informed
by mail when the new version is available.  Upgrades will cost $10 and will
include the software and an addendum pamphlet explaining the new features. 
List price for ANSITerm is $69.  For ordering information, or for information
