you can interrupt the downloading of a page by pressing 'z'.
This will not work during a name-lookup, although I think
there is a patch to the sourcecode that will allow that.

I don't know this one. I'm sure someone else will
be glad to help you out.

You have to tell telemate to use vt102 terminal-emulation.
You have it set to ANSI terminal emulation. They ARE different.

pressing 'A' will allow you to add a bookmark, pressing 'v'
will go to the bookmark page, and pressing 'H' should get
you the helpfiles, where you probably would have been able
to find this out yourself. :)
