Another thought struck me while I wasn't looking. In order to NOT interfere with the montior, the second 0D needed to make the carriage return spit out 0D 0D 0A instead of 0D 0A will have to be in the serial port driver. The driver also needs to strip out one of the 0Ds when reading from the tape reader. I think that is what the PC-DOS manual is referring to when it says the keyboard can be redefined. I know it is beyond my capabilites, now. I do not have a way to create a program; and wouldn't even know where to start. I suspect the serial port driver built in to the OS can't easily be modified because of relative jumps, etc. I think a whole new serial driver will be required. Does this sound correct? --Lynn
