from what I read in the JS source, etc.. the html is fairly limited.. so
really.. it would have been an HTML type terminal "I'm guessing something that
would be kin to RIP" that would be interactive, display jpgs, or pngs, and
thats about it.. no CSS and all that crap.. just base HTML, use PNGS instead of
ANSI for command display, and prompts were html output also.. ive also noticed
this built into login/logon.js am I just tripping or what? or is this for text
formatting in HTMLterm on the web? because afaik thats not needed.

please remember.. I was gone for about 10 years of development. so I missed a
good bit..
