 bl> SyncTerm, but on my vintage machines -- Amiga and Tandy 1000 -- I can
 bl> navigate the menus on The ByteXchange but not on Black Flag, and of the
 bl> two only Black Flag carries RetroNet. Not all MSDOS term programs
 bl> support doorway mode -- I am using Qmodem (which is too slow really on
 bl> this Tandy) and Commo.

Black Flag is running Mystic, not Synchronet - but if you choose Amiga Ascii
as your theme either at login or within your user settings, it'll revert the
doors menu back to hotkeys rather than a lightbar.
