This is no problem, it's just the (old) default.  You can ask the server to
send you a copy of your own messages (as will be de new default).  How ?
I'm not sure anymore, but you can ask the server to send you a list of
commands. The way to do it is described in your "Hello, nice you joined"
message.

Right, that's what I thought of too.  But because of the fact that the
PICSTART+ only works with MPLAB, I would be forced to : Program a chip,
call the routine that modifies my HEX-file, reload the project (making sure
the last version of the HEX-file will be used when programming the next
chip), and start programming again.  It's allmost the same bore as manually
changing the Source-file, assemble it, and program a chip ... :-(  Ah well,
To bad that there is no counter available for this purpose.
