Application:Terminal
Status
This is early-alpha software. Consider yourself lucky if it works at all. Many people have put many hours of hard work in to get just this far - respect that effort when making comments and suggestions. Full-screen functionality is limited. vi and top works. Use Orange-Space for escape. The SYM key is the control key. To scroll the screen, flick the screen. (Hint, it's a Pre app.)
