OK.  The main reason I select items in syncterm is to get a URL into my 
browser.  I run KDE, and clipper pops up a little prompt to "Open in 
Konqueror" whenever a URL is selected.  This doesn't happen with syncterm, 
I have no idea why.  It works fine in plain o' telnet.

The only other issue I've ran into in the reverse text issue after hitting 
CTRL-K to delete a line in pico.

Still a great job Deuce, THANKS!
