Re: [Flashforth-devel] FF 5.x - Xon Xoff with Teraterm

[Mikael N. <mik...@fl...>]

I considered to print OK after every line but then I did not want to 
change the old behaviour. So I made the ff-shell  to just wait for newlines.

The approach with Amforth would not work with FF anyway.
Thats because the block write to flash may occur in the middle of a word.
In contrast Amforth does not have any such block write. I think it 
writes each cell separately to flash, thus always having a constant delay.

But you can try to modify QUIT to print OK after every line.
