I think your problem with build may be that the M100 is sending
out CR-LF instead of just one CR or two CRs maybe. A "filter"
program would work. Lessee, you're using Level 1, I'm not
familiar with Level 1, but if it supports pipes, you could do
it one command, if not, then just write a BASIC09 filter program
which reads standard input and writes to standard output, but
makes sure that there are no line feeds.

True. The only people who use EDIT are people who are into
self-torture!

There are severl good level 2 editors available commercially, plus
there is a version of kermit as well.

Can't help there!
