OK, I'm programming this little serially-controlled gadget, and

There's a white box on the screen that shows my current conversation
with El Gadget, and it all looks right. But the "backscroll buffer",
the grey stuff above which shows older text, tends to be garbled, even
though it rolled out of the white box correct. And there are snippets
of really old text stirred in.
Ok, so everything is working normally.....
Why?
Cuz you used hyperterminal.
And once I managed to aim a pointer at code instead of text (it would
be impolite to ask) so my box actually shot out binary glop. So Ht
printed junk on the screen, fair enough. But after that it also
garbled local echo text! WTF?
Oh, wait, I figured out what's wrong:
(c) Microsoft
Exactly. I use PUTTY. It's free and it works, what more can anyone ask?
I tried Putty, but it's about as weird as Hyperterminal, except that
Putty is Unix weird, and Ht is Windows weird.
It was handy in that I right-clicked the mouse and it sent something
truly weird to my box - can't figure out exactly what - and my box did
something it's not supposed to do, so that's a good thing to know.
All I want to do is type, have the chars go to my box, and display
what comes back. That's not a lot to ask, is it?
