Terrald, those look like formatting comands to me.

Inside Basic volume 1 issue 12 has a BTerm program and article by Mel
Patrick. This covers several modem protocols, etc.
Someone kind should send you that from the Inside Basic CD. I don't have
that though, just the printed version. Does FutureBasic.org have the source
for BTerm?

I would consider throwing off a letter to Zterm's author and inquire as to
how to go about resolving your particular issues in a practical sense, I am
sure he would help.
