(if the latest update hasn't already -- I've not had a chance to download it yet) Pscomutil seems to use a clever API to write text to its window which makes sure words arn't spit over two lines... perhaps this is why it so slow.... (looking like it is at 1200baud rather than 9600) I can only speak for myself but: it would be fine if it used some simpler method, it doesn't matter if words get split, I can put in a "\n" where necessary. Also I don't see why the output window couldn't be fixed to use a fixed-pitch font too. Also if it still does two CR and LFs for every "\n" can that be fixed in the forthcomming freeware version so that it just does one (then I can get twice as much debug data on the screen at once). I read somewhere that one or more hot key shortcuts have been removed from the latest version, could we have more and not less of those please? Also perhaps, menu options, because I remember in the very first version there was a menu option "Down-load program and run" (or similar) but that was taken-out --- it was really convenient for me because I have no data files to load after my prog and the initialization in my program takes a while to do --- so now I have to start the down-load, go-off and do something else for a bit, comeback, start it running, go off and do something else for a bit, comeback and finally start testing what I've done.
