Here are the defines...

#define         BS      0x08    //      Backspace
#define         HT      0x09    //      Horizontal tab
#define         LF      0x0A    //      Linefeed
#define         VT      0x0B    //      Vertical tab
#define         FF      0x0C    //      formfeed
#define         CR      0x0D    //      carrage return


I've also experimented with adding "shift-out" = 0x0e, "shift-in"=0x0f,
"end of text"=0x03, and "NUL" = 0x00, before sending the control
characters.  This doesn't work....neither does the "bell"=0x07... That's
curious....

Initial FF is to clear the screen and set the cursor in top left.  I'm
constantly updating the current status through FF, then redraw of entire
screen.

Also, thanks for the tip on the other term programs, but I'm trying to
stick with something that's included in every copy of Windows...the goal
is to make a serial interface so that the customers (most likely NOT
computer savy) could modify certain attributes of the product through
serial port without having to buy/download anything.
