For address book, do you mean a list of servers? Win95 telnet
compiles this automatically as you visit servers.
You can change the colors by going to Terminal | Preferences.
Background Color has its own button, foreground color is changed in
the Fonts dialog.
And of course, the font is changed in Terminal | Preferences | Font.
But in your last statement, you are completely correct. It isn't a
full-featured program. The terminal.exe included in Win3.x was more
powerful (but I don't know if it could telnet).
