- As a "true" dumb terminal, you might want to look at opening a shell
- on AUX: (I think that is possible). At that point, if it works, you would
- have an Amiga shell prompt showing up on the Tandy. To transfer an ASCII file
- from the Amiga to the Tandy you would open the capture buffer, type "type
- <filename>" at the prompt, and sit back... You would have to edit out your
- command lines from the capture buffer. To go the other way, type "copy *
- <filename>" at the prompt, then start the ASCII send on the Tandy; only trick
- may be in getting the proper EOF sent to kill the copy command.
-
- Let me emphasize that I have not tried anything like that, so can not
- be sure. My understanding is that AUX: handles data transfers on a more
- char-by-char basis, SER: wants larger buffers (full lines) before sending data
- on to an application (the shell).
-
- Check the manuals for AUX:, SER: and NewShell options ("newshell aux:"
- maybe?)
