I found this to be true as well.  Ran fd for a short time on my point setup to 
learn how to use it because I was helping
a couple of local sysops get fido connected, this was over a decade ago btw.

I'm more comfortable with text file configuration so
binkleyterm is a better fit for me.

YEp, gathered that from a sample config I've seen, but am
still looking for complete docs in something other than a
graphical file format.  I haven't found any ascii docs which is the only real 
compatible thing that would do me any good. Also, no way to utilize it at this 
time anyway, so rather
immaterial for me.  But, when I'm able to I"ll probably look more seriously for 
ascii docs.

Regards,
           Richard
