I'm not even sure what "terminal" is. I don't think I have it. I never downloaded anything named terminal. I just have the Windows console with its latest features (ANSI, wrapping selection, ...). But "Properties" does have a "Terminal" tab. Can someone enlighten me?

Hah! A Westrex Teletype Model 33 with attached paper tape punch. My interface with an ICL 1904. I can hear it rattle and feel it shake as I look at it.

VDUs were a step backwards. You couldn't scroll back to see what you typed an hour or even a minute ago.
