The problem is that each time the  key was hit by both of you, only
a Carrige Return  was sent.  That told the computer to return the cursor
to the left margain, but it didn't tell it to move to a new line...

There are several solutions to this problem.  One is to make both computers
SEND a Line Feed  with each .  Another is to make each computer
interpret each incoming  to be an  combination.

Ascii Express has a little feature in the Install, that is called
"Auto-LF at Half Duplex" or something.  That means that when you are at
half-duplex (local echo on), I believe that AE sends an  with each
.  It think that's right.

Also, I believe the "Z" option (Format) should be ON, and that I think converts
incoming s into a  combination.

This problem has nothing to do with parity, word size, or stop bits.

I hope that I'm right with technicalities about AE Pro.

I hope that it works!
