I didn't mean to imply that you said anything like that.
This is what you said:

I interpreted this to mean that in most cases, when
working with other systems (i.e. Unix), vt provides a
better interface than a simple rio window (which you term
a standard rc prompt).  If this is not what you meant,
feel free to enlighten me.

My "Sometimes..." statement could probably have been
better worded like this: "In certain cases, Jim may be
right about this.  But in my situation and, I think, more
generally, rio is quite often more comfortable than vt,
even for interacting with other systems." My hope was
that whomever you were advising to look into vt would
also try just using rio and decide what was better in
his/her situation.  I should probably have stated this
more clearly or not entered the conversation at all.

> You misrepresent my statement.

If I did so, it was unintentional, and I apologize.  I
also apologize to the list for the unnecessary noise.
I will try to hold my tongue in the future.
