Hi All,
I have seen a few postings where people were saying that the Parallax Serial Terminal
program does not allow·Copying of the text in its window to the Clipboard.
Well, IT DOES......but not in the way most people have come to expect.
You cannot use a menu or Right-Click the mouse, you must use CTRL+C
Highlight the text you want then use CTRL+C. That will copy the highlighted text
to the Clipboard....no worries....works just fine.
Regards
Samuel

All we want is some way of getting the output to the clipboard so that we can paste
it into other applications.........and IT CAN be done...some said it cannot....and had to
resort to using other terminal programs. Just use CTRL+C to copy highlighted text to the
Clipboard with no problems.

the software Brays terminal has a function to store input to files even with a time stamp
and
- show received bytes in HEX, ASCII, additional colums for Dec, Hex, or Bin
- bytecounter
- custom baudrates
- a scripting function
- macros
- toggle RTS and DTR
- display for the state of CTS, CD, DSR, RI
- clear screen oon defineable character
- amount of traffic window
- remote clients using
best regards

For whomever didn't know that, they should also be told that Ctrl-V is standard paste from the clipboard.
Ctrl-P is for print ... no idea how that happened.
I find Brays terminal GUI to be too crowded. Termite is cute and functional but not for the power user.
It is beyond me why some terminal programs can't have the same box for input/output like a command console.

whoot! I'd run into a copy of that terminal program some time ago on the web. Now I know where it came from! Personally I find PST is better for user interaction using a plain text interface. While I prefer Brays terminal for debugging binary interfaces meant to be controlled via a program on the host computer. I use them both regularly.

Lunch cures all problems! have you had lunch?
I recall hearing the same ctrl-v explanation years ago. And also since the c p and v were already in use back in the days of yore, coming up with alternatives gave the old Emacs folks keyboard heartburn. hehehe.

It's all in the one edit/compile/download/terminal/archive program that runs on Windoze/Unix/Mac platforms.
It as extended compile options as well, like conditional compilation.
