Suggestions for a serial port reader

I was hoping to utilize a utility that JonnyMac was kind enough to provide here, that reads the upper portions of a 512K bit eeprom he configured called the p1-eeprom-explorer. As it seems the PST itself won't display the memory location values but a different serial program will. Here is a repost of of a screen capture of it:
As you can see this is not the Parallax Serial Terminal but at the bottom it seems to be set to it. I'm using tool Version 2.9.3 on a win10 box.

That screencap is from the internal terminal of Spin Tools (by @macca). In fact, in the latest version (0.53.1) Marco fixed a little gotcha with the terminal that caused a problem with my menu display. I have updated the program as of today to let me modify portions of the EEPROM as required. Latest is here: https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/178021/p1-eeprom-explorer-updated-26-feb-2026#latest
PTS, and the internal terminals of Spin Tools and FlexProp are just that: terminals; they display what you tell them to display. In my little explorer program I use my EEPROM library to read the contents of the P1 EEPROM so that I can display it. Here's the latest version of my EE Explorer program using PST as a terminal:
As you can see, PST will display high EE memory, too. Press [H] to go to address $8000 (start of high memory). Of course, in the beginning you have to tell the program you have a 64K EEPROM.
