Menu''s messing up using procomm
Archiver

Hi Eric,
Procomm has an option on one of the menus to automatically add a line
feed after every CR it receives. I don't think hyperterminal has
that option, but I wouldn't swear to it. Lots of terminal programs
don't have, and you have to add it to your software if it will need
to work with different terminals. I use code something like the
following:
LF var 10 ' line feed
LFb var bit ' flag: 1=line feed send, 0=not
debug "hello",CR,rep LF\LFb
So, using the "rep" modifier, sending the line feed is conditional on
the state of the LFb flag. One of my menu options allows the user to
toggle the LFb, to make the setting appropriate for the current
terminal. The code stores the current LFb setting in eeprom as a
default for the next startup.
