I'm currently evaluating the Emulator tool for a project for a client. I've got a few questions I can't really find answers to anywhere.

1) The existing app used to access the mainframe reports itself as a VT320XM. When I do a "terminal test" (from the mainframe) of a Dart emulator session, it says that it supports VT forms but does not support windowing. Is there any way of using the Dart tools to allow for the windowing function of a VT320XM?

2) I want to scrape text from the currently displayed screen. The screen scrape functions seem to pull from the BEGINNING of the buffer. I might need to scrape a screen HOURS into a session and would have NO idea where they are in the buffer. Any way of getting it to scrape based on just what's visible on the screen?

3) Selected fields seem to display with brackets "{}" around them. The other emulator software (complete program, not a tool) displays in reverse text. Is there any way of making the VT tool display selected fields as a reverse text area (or some other color - I don't really care) rather than having brackets around it?

4) If I want to inject text to the server, I can't use the built-in telnet of the VT object, correct? Instead, I need to use the separate telnet tool and pipe information back and forth, correct?
