Thanks  to Eric and everyone who offered terminal programs!

Presently, I'm  using old W7 laptops with serial ports at home and at the 
AWA Museum, so I  don't really need the USB interface (yet).  My main 
interest with  these boards was the on-board "automessage/autoprint" 
feature which should  work well for demos at the Museum.

I finally decided to go with  ExtraPuTTY (the original PuTTY would 
probably be OK, too) as a terminal  program due to its text editing 
ability. I  found that with the  TeraTerm and Terminal.exe programs, if 
you make a mistake while entering  text or a command, you can correct the 
text on the screen, but the  correction is not transmitted. (It is like 
there are separate screen &  transmit buffers, and you can only correct 
the screen buffer.) When you  are entering short commands, this is not a 
big problem. But (unless you  are a perfect typist) entering hundreds of 
characters can be very  frustrating.  ExtraPuTTY handles corrections to 
the display properly,  so text entry is much easier.

ExtraPuTTY also saves your configuration,  so that you don't have to set 
it up each time you open the program. (If  the other programs offered 
this, I couldn't find it.)

Have  fun,

Duncan
