Yet Another Windows socket Telnet

Version 0.7 Beta

This is a beta release of a Windows Socket compatible telnet.
This telnet was especially designed with Mosaic or Netscape in mind and 
parses the commandline for telnet sessions.  Just make yawtel the default 
for telnet sessions

I have spend most of my time making the vt100 emulation complete.  Other
features like host profiles, screen scrollback, etc. are all planned but 
remain unimplemented.  You can guide me as to which features your think
would be good/necessary to have.  Just drop me an email.

This software is going shareware, but but the fee will be very low.
You are allowed to use this beta version for testing only.
See license.txt for the license agreement.

KNOW BUGS:
- tabs are not implemented and seem to cause some problems with the cursor 
  positioning code.  
- keyboard mapping remains incomplete.  del/bs switch not implemented.
- sometimes characters like 2m show up when multiple attributes are set
  in one escape code.
- scrolling up and down in an editor is a little buggy
  
INI FILE SETTINGS:
These settings can appear in the file telnet.ini in your windows directory.
None of these are needed as there are defaults for all of them
[Settings]
font=Courier New			; the name of the font to use.
fontsize=12					; the size of the font to use.
fgcolor=0,0,0				; red,green,blue values for fg color (0-255)
bgcolor=255,255,255			; red green,blue values for bg color (0-255)
autoexit=0					; close window on exit? (0,1)

[Hosts]						; section for the last 10 hosts
host1=put.your.host.here	; updated automatically                                   		
  :
host10=another.host

More ini settings will appear in later versions.  All of which will be
configurable from the setup dialog.
