In post #39 from Technical it is stated that the same staff who started PE6 are still there.
If not, the same post shows the author, Technical, understands the textstream mechanism, and quite eloquently described why 08 was such a disaster.
PE6 is built using off-the-shelf development packages, ( Actiprosoftware is one ), so it should be relatively easy to re-direct the textstream.
Textstream redirection something like this is already in PE6. The simulated LCD accepts a textstream from the simulator. The textstream is sent from a simulated pin, selected by the user. It's not a huge step to redirect the serial port textstream in a similar way.
A ready-built terminal app could easily be the target of the textstream. Something like TeraTerm, RealTerm, or SecureCRT could be used, if Rev-Ed liased with the app developers to get the interface details .
A proper terminal would help in education, as the learning needed to generate the Esc/ control codes is something that fits in well in computing.
( See
https://espterm.github.io/docs/VT100 escape codes.html for the full set. We only really need the 'cursorup/dn/lf/rt' and 'cursorpos' types. )
I cannot understand why Rev-Ed have not taken my request seriously.
