Point of information. Could one have two or more tasks? One would accept
keyboard input and accept serial incoming signals and write to the buffer.
Another would constantly squirt the buffer to the screen. The screen painter
would have a lower priority. Also, if one wanted to use bursts of characters
for speed, could you not have a one line window at the bottom of the screen
which acts like a typewriter — ie always displays a stream of characters as
typed centered on the screen. The main window would show the input — either
the serial input or formatted text from a WP or whatever. Chris
