Is there a way that I can tell MicroPhone to do [update the >screen a character at a time]? I like the way it updates the screen since I always run at 9600 bps. It can receive data MUCH faster than Microphone I or any other Macintosh or IBM+Windows terminal emulator I've seen. I can see how it might be annoying at 1200 bps. One thing you could try is to use scripting to make yourself a command to put you into character- update mode, using "send local" and "nextch". You'd only implement (yourself!) a small subset of VT100 commands, and only use it when you were scrolling lots of data on the screen. In full-screen editing, I think Microphone II's method of updating is better even at slow speeds. Another solution is to sell it and use your other terminal emulator. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My opinions are my own.
