The phonebook is the way it is due to the flexibility it gives you, there
is no *easy* way to allow you to edit each entry and still allow it to
completely reconfigure JR-Comm.  I have done some tweaks here and there,
but it is still pretty much the same as before.

If you've got some ideas for a "better" interface, I'm certainly willing to
listen to them.

The 16 color display has always buffered serial input, but there were a few
problems that could still cause data loss which have been corrected for 1.0.

You still are limited by the output rate of the display though, that can't
be helped with a 16 color screen, it sucks up too much chip DMA to make it
practical for unchecked input at baud rates above 2400bps.
