I just happened to have a setup (one PC with Hyperterminal, one PC with Bray 
Terminal, null modem cable) so I tried the above and it works. eg Alt 001 sends the 
single character 0x01. The trick is you have use the numeric keypad. Can't send 
0x00. Tried bigger numbers like Alt 255 and Alt 127 but it seems to get confused 
with anything over Alt 126. Might be the setup of Hyperterminal - like they say, truly 
horrible for uC work. Bray's Terminal rules.
