P.S. Netrunner is a binary download - you just run it... I prefer

I too like Syncterm over Netrunner except for 1 thing that really sticks in my craw. SyncTerm has no way to paste text from the clipboard. No keyboard command (ctrl-v doesn't work) and no right click menu options. So this forces me to go back to NetRunner when I'm working in the cooking echoes sharing recipes.

Not true. Middle-click pastes clipboard text into a message. How much
easier could it be?

Have you considered reading some documentation?

I don't know what version of SyncTERM you're using (v1.7 is the latest release), but this isn't true and hasn't ever been true to my recollection (you could always paste from the clipboard into SyncTERM releases 1.0 and later, or maybe even earlier). True, it's not Ctrl-V (that command key would be sent to the server/BBS), but right click or middle click of the mouse will usually paste. If the server/BBS has captured your mouse input, you might need to hit Alt-O to toggle the mouse control back to SyncTERM, but I think that's more of a select/copy issue than a paste issue.
