Excellent! I can only hope you got a VS6230 or 6230T.

Never heard of it.

I'll send you a copy. If you don't get it in two days, remind me.

Yes, it's faster than anything except Lightspeed over SCSI. It's *much* faster than WinLOC.

That's fine -- just don't expect the VS to support a large number of users using telnet. And remember, your 4230 can do things that only a native Wang terminal or WinLOC can do -- such as glossary functions. I have a workstation personality that gives me built-in glossary functions for duplicating lines in EDITOR and doing block operations such as delete, move, copy, renumber, print, etc. merely by selecting the first and last lines of the block. It makes for astounding productivity improvements in programming.
