I recently purchased OmniView256KXL and installed it in my 800XL along
with the Newell 256KXL upgrade.  Included with the purchase of Omniview
was a disk that contained the software for Omniwriter, the 80 column
word processor.  To my surprise, on the disk was a file called README.
Which I did.  The file explained that their was yet another program on
the disk named Omniterm, a terminal program that will work with the
Omniview upgrade.  The program has one condition before it can be used.
That condition is that you must have an RS232 handler to append to it to
make it work with an interface. (mine is an 850). Herein lies my
problem.  I did find a file on a public domain disk called RS232.ARS,
which I assumed was a ML file to generate a R: handler for a serial
interface (ie the 850).  The file was 2 sectors long.  Well I appended
it to the Omniterm program as instructed but when it finished reading in
the MAC.SYS file (a separate file that needs to be read in by Omniterm
for the terminal parameters, I think) it gives a message of ....done and
then it generates an Error 130 (no such device).  

Can anyone, particularly C. David Young, tell me what I am doing wrong,
what the program really needs, and/or where I can find an RS232 Handler
to make Omniterm work.

Thanks,

Peter Desaulniers
