[...]
I have written a new client based on a VMS platform, It uses smg screen
functions, It has the following features:

 + Two language instructions (Hebrew/English), Hebrew can easily be replaced
   with any other language
 + better error messages.
 + Search capability within documents: enter search term, scrollbar
   jumps to match and match is highlighted; repeat as desired.
 + Telnet bug is fixed, telnet report password and username  - user%pass@node).
 + Vms can write/append to file.
 + Error message when fail to connect source (before - in vms, if failed to
	reach a server than the session was stacked)
 + Better navigation within a document (can move +/- n screen or lines with in
   a document), The line number and screen number are displayed at the bottom
   of the screen
+ the "go ftp", "go gopher", "go news:" are commands, the user need only to
   enter the ip name or news group name
+ The f7-f20 function keys are used as hotkeys (f7 - Back, f8 - home, f9 - help
  f10 - ps, f11 - move (navigate within a document), f12 - other (other
 commands such as direct ftp,news ...), f13 - next, f14-previous, f15 - help
 f16 - line mode command style, f17 - change language, f18 - show current
 pointer address, f19 - top, f20 - bottom.
+ some minor vms bugs in wwwlib were fixed (bugs in reading news and other)

It is installed in vms.huji.ac.il (username : www) choose 2 (vt220+)
you need a vt screen to get the best result.

I will release the first public version in july.
