If the software aspects of the C-64 don't suit you then why not right your own. I admit the VIC-20 & the C-64 does not have some of the features the "big-buck" ones do. You don't have the control over the hardware, but you can fix the software, (If you would try). If you would stop griping long enough, and then sit down with your C-64 and really learn how to use it, I'm sure that any problems your having could be ironed out. If you are really fed-up with your C-64, I would be more than happy to take it off your hands. I'm trying to step up from the VIC-20. Note, to you the VIC-20 is probably just a toy, but to me the VIC-20 can do anything I can program it to do (Within reason). As to your TERMCAP problem, that was answered on the net by A. Ray Miller. A possible source for ideas on a terminal control program is COMPUTE's January 1983 issue. It has an article on a terminal program for the ATARI's. Although, this is not directly compatible with the VIC some of the ideas are. I was able to modify this program to run on my VIC-20. It has upload/download capability and I'm in the process of writing a menu routine for it. So, Asko keep plugging away. Ed Kufeldt :~}
