Subject: Need Help on BASICA Comm Support

What else is the basic program doing? To get a good communications set
both transmit and receive, the basic has to be back to the interface quick     
enough to catch the echoed characters. If not a control-s and control-q flow
control is needed, so data in and data out do not occur at the same time.
If all
this fails look in writing a machine language I/O handler or compiling basic.
I had this problem with a Digital Group computer and their stupid operating
system did not set up the Uart's properly. I doubt that's the problem here 
since the other software works.

good luck,
