  I agree that developers should put a break option on their terminal
programs. I did that when I wrote mine on a Commodore 64 and I am
doing the same to the one I am using now. Another good thing to add
is a bell. Right now I have mine doing the screen flash accompanied
by a verbal "BEEP" (kinda funny, huh?)
I have noticed that I lose alot of characters when I am going at 1200
baud. I am taking one character at a time from the serial driver and
sending one at a time to the console driver.
I don't know if this is the same problem I saw mentioned in an earlier
message...anybody got any suggestions ??
Also, what's the story on the condition of your request block coming
out of a request. Do some drivers change things like your io_Command
or io_Length or io_Data (I know that input ones change data and length
but I am referring to things like doing a CMD_WRITE to the console).
Another thing...I seem to only have 77 characters across the screen...
is there something I am not setting properly ?
