I have it in my batch file, in the main loop.  Gets run every time
just before I start btp.exe.

PE> What happens if I decide to emigrate to USA?

BG> We'd all breath a sigh of relief, I'd imagine.  :)

That's ridiculous.  Is the hardware the same or what?

BG> Looks fine to me, but don't forget to check the DIP switches beneath the

PE> 9 was also on, so I switched it off.  BFN.  Paul.

BG> Switch 9 controls the way the Courier responds to the +++ escape code.  If

I did.  Thanks + bye.  Paul.
