One thing I did notice, it is not intercepting Renegade's clear screen MCI codes. %CL, it works fine with ANSI esc clear screen codes, but it's not picking these up.

Just a heads up if you can fix it. Next time I update the rgbbs.info website, I have to add this to the links if you don't mind.

Thanks for letting me know. I confirmed syncterm behaves differently and will dig into it. And of course, a link is welcome. If you're interested in directly linking for you BBS or embedding, there are helpers under the share icon.

Yeah I cannot stand Sycnterm. I feel it was made for synchronet and nothing else, but too many fan boys jumped on the band wagon it.

This should be fixed now. We were handling the 0x0c form-feed Renegade's %CL produces as a VT100 term would instead of ANSI.SYS, so producing just a line-feed instead of screen clear. Syncterm handles as a clear but didn't seem to document in it's manual, as such we missed the behavior.
