New features for Comm 1.33
o WXMODEM uploads are now supported.
No special menu entry is required for WXMODEM uploads. The type
of transfer (XMODEM vs WXMODEM) is determined by the receiver.
Comm will use the transfer method requested by the receiving end.

Use Preferences to change the start up baud rate.

o On screen indication of the state of the file capture.
When ASCII CAPTURE is enabled, the word "ON" will be seen in the
lower right hand corner of the screen. If capture is suspended,
the word "SUS" will be there. If file capturing is off, then
nothing will be visible in the corner.
o DOS 1.2 support.
Comm can detect the version of DOS used on your machine. If DOS 1.1
is being used, the following features are disabled.
o String gadgets auto activate.
The string gadgets in the INPUT WINDOW will be activated as
soon as the window opens. You do not need to click in the box
to enter text.

be active. If you wish to change the default file directory,
you may do so at this time. If you do not wish to change the
file directory, simply hit RETURN. At this point, the filename
gadget will become active and you may enter the filename
desired.

Comm will determine which video system is used by your
computer. If NTSC (USA) system is used, Comm will open a
terminal screen sized 640 x 200. If the PAL system is used,

your favorite color combinations. Info available in file

does not exist, you will be presented with a requester informing
you of this. Select the CONTINUE option in the requester.
The INPUT WINDOW will return allowing you to enter a new file
name.
ASCII capture -- if the filename selected for capturing screen
data already exists, you will be presented with a requester
informing you of this. You have the option to CANCEL or
