 Hi ,

     Can anyone tell me how to make a .vt file into my .plan
     file such that when people finger me, they can see the
     animation ?

     I tried to move a .vt file to .plan but when people finger
     at me, they see not the animation but only whole bunch of 
     command characters.

     Thanks for any advice.

This has been said several times but, I guess, it bears repeating.

You CANNOT assume that anyone fingering you will have a terminal
that is VT100 compatible. Users without such a terminal (or emulation)
will get a mess (at best) or a locked terminal (at worst).

So, please, don't include *.vt files in your .plan - apart from anything
else, it's bad manners.
