I believe while in DOS or PRODOS typing
IN#S  takes input from the card in slot #S
and
PR#S sends output to slot #S

I have an Apple II Plus, where it really seems to redirect
output, ie nothing is displayed on my monitor  if the do a PR#
until I do PR#0 to redirect back to the monitor.

My II /e seems to do a 'T' in that I see ouput on both
the monitor and the serial connection after PR#.  Similarly
on the II /e I can send into in the serial port or type it on
the keyboard, but only in the serial port on the II plus after
an IN #.  Is this normal?
