Ooops, I check in for the day and see myself being referred to. Now I
know what it's like to be David :-)

Ken, I would love to have STATUSLINE work in more terminals. It's a
very simple little doo-dad, which I use all the time. All it does is
use the VT100-style screen addressing escape-codes to position the
cursor at the desired location. For it to work right two things need
to happen: (a) somehow STATUSLINE needs to know what terminal it is
on, and (b) it needs to know how to position the cursor. Since EMACS
uses a "dumb" terminal I do not think this will work. [ I just tried
this using STATUSLINE, /ENABLE. ] Same probably goes for the Windows
IDE.

Comments?
Craig
