[Ham-Mac] Help with cocoaModem

[Dick Kriss]

John,

Bill is right on his comment.  I missinterperted what you were trying to do
with the Flush command.  The cocoaModem has never had a type-ahead buffer
like in some TNC so once you send the text cannot be flushed.  In other
words,  the flush works on text you type in the input panel but once you
click on transmit, it is going out typos and all.  The flush does not work
on text in the transmit queue.   This has nothing to do with the version of
the Mac OS....it is just the way cocoaModem works.
