It's not absolutely necessary that I get it perfect if it has to be run from within Windows as the final version of the terminal program won't be in BASIC anyway, because of the graphics side of things. It's just not a good look when you have to explain a problem or condition of use to a client before the program(s) are even running -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
