I wouldn't expect it to, but I haven't a clue yet just how well the screen 
i/o is contained in a separate module.  And of course minicom doesn't 
relay mouse actions, so the chances of making something graphical work are 
VERY slim.  I may be the only one on the list who is actually doing that 
for all I know.

I need to do some playing with tmode .1 & the "rpt" repeat character and 
see if I could get that to work when I tap the up arrow.  That would help 
a lot.
