Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi Folks,

I am using TassieJim's MM Edit program with my DM Mega and it's great. Is anyone else using it with a USB connection to their PC? If so, is there anyway to to have the interaction with the DM the same way as with TerraTerm? I have a program that sends all the output to the display using print @ (which works fine in TerraTerm) but with the MM Basic interactive window, I get all the Escape codes printed rather than processed as per a VT100 emulation on TerraTerm?

MM Edit v 2.0.3 and MM Basic V4.0
... almost all of the Maximites, the MicromMites, the MM Extremes, the ArmMites, the PicoMite and loving it!

Not at the moment but is something I have been actively thinking about.

I know that I have no hope of emulating TerraTerm but I want to have the option on basic VT commands recognised.
I am also playing with a method of detecting when you unplug the MM with the comms window open to stop the rather dramatic crash which occurs at the moment.
I have made some progress but Microchip seem to be the only USB-serial device that I cannot reliably get 'Windows messages' from!

I am VERY busy with a family matter for the foreseeable future so I will not try to gave a timeline.
