Keyboard!

A person named "Sid" told me a few days ago that I could use Hyperterminal to
connect my keyboard to my BS2. Now, how do I do that? I mean, it looks like a
communications program to me, as at the beginning it asks for a dial out number!
I'm asking everyone, including Sid, this question. Thanks for any responses!

    Sir

    I think Sid meant you connect a PC with Hyperterminal running, via a serial
    cable to the BS2 and let Hyperperterminal communicate with it. I don't know
    if there is any mistake. Please correct me.

    Al Williams' PAK 6 does interface a keyboard / mouse directly to BS2. I am
    using it. It works fine. Now I can interface a LCD, Pak6, with a BS2. As I
    draw with the mouse, LCD shows the trace.

    When you open Hyper and click on "File/New Connection" you will be asked for
    a file name. When you enter a name the next screen gives you the optiuon of
    your connection method. Scroll down and select "Direct to Com1" or whatever
    port you are using.

    If you still have problems let me know and I will send you a Hyper file that
    will let you communicate with BS2.
