shell before issuing telnet commands. This option provides more
compatibility with host computers that request the terminal type.
3/02/2005

Feature - Added a new Preference option to disable mouse clicks in
the MacWise window. Otherwise, when you click the mouse on text, it

Fax System Preference.
10/29/2004
10.7.52

= Delete option was enabled in Wyse mode.

error if you re-sized the window in a 24-point font window in 132

to show when MacWise is getting the port status and opening the port.
9/05/2004

mode in the 24-point large window.

was not working if the host was sending Char 11 and Char 16 codes to

Fix - You can now capture text lines wider than 255 characters. This
applies to text captures for the clipboard, a file or the printer.

Fix / Feature- New MacWise TrueType printing fonts added.
MacWise
now uses TrueType printing fonts, enabling you to print graphic line
drawing characters and international characters. Previous versions
required you to use the graphic printing mode, "print screen
as graphic"
to print these special characters (was essentially a screen shot).
Now
with
TrueType
fonts,
you get razor sharp printing when using the "print screen as
text"
option in Printer Setup using MacWiseFont.

the font size to a different size than the first page.

During Transfer" is enabled.

Fix - Some Macs could get "MacWiseFont not found" message even though
the font was installed.
Fix - Modem Init Strings. If an init string ended with a number, the
modem init would fail. For example if your init string forces the connection
