[mosh-devel] Mosh support in iSSH

Hello Dean,

I noticed that the in-app purchase at
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/issh-ssh-vnc-console/id287765826?mt=8 is
described as "Mosh".

Could you please rename this to "Mosh compatibility" as per below? Mosh is
the name of our program and I don't want there to be any confusion about
what is being distributed, as we discussed earlier.

Thanks much,
Keith
