Currently two know issues exist; the StringBuilder class has problems that cause string concatenation to freak out. I'll be looking into this shortly. In the mean time, try alternative methods (like individual print() calls to print a compound message). The Super Serial Card driver has problems with XON/XOFF flow control. It might be a problem with my USB serial dongle. I tried hardware flow control, which worked except characters would get truncated when it halted the receiver. XON/XOFF should work, but doesn't on my setup. I'll try to connect to a real serial port on a Linux box to see if it works any better.


I was able to hook my Apple II up to a real serial port on a Linux machine. XON/XOFF appears to work on that setup. The USB dongle might be causing problems due to it's internal buffer size. So this makes me happy - one less issue. I'll add VT100 screen controls to the TERMINAL program soon and have the terminal program I always wanted. BTW, if you have a II or II+, you can use Ctrl-A as a CAPS LOCK. No shift key modification support yet, though.
