             Text dumps are OK, but they aren't error checking.

          Why not just use a terminal emulator on the Amiga too?

          Careful!!!  AmigaDOS CLI and shell aren't quite like Bourne
          or csh or *sh -- they require all redirection to be specified
          immediately after the command name, i.e., type >ser: myfile.
          Besides, what is wrong with good ole copy myfile ser: ????
