                                  [PK232] PK232 Loopback test with 
HyperTerminal

            Hello PK232'ers:

            Since I am the one who asked the question on the Digital Modes
            reflector that resulted in this reflector being started, I will 
try to
            get things going.

            I bought a used PK232MBX (v. 7.1) with a good set of 
documentation and
            cables.  I set the PK232 up for the loopback test as described 
in the
            manual.  I am using HyperTerminal for the communications 
program.  I
            am set up at 1200 7-E-1 as shown in the manual, and I have good
            communications between the computer and the terminal.

            When I power up the PK232 I get the greeting message screen:
            Copyright, Release, Version, etc, and cmd:  So far so good.

            Now I am supposed to type in a series of commands to perform the 
loop
            back test.  The first one is:  MY AAA <enter>

            When I type MY AAA <enter> there is no response.  If, however, I 
type
            <CONTROL-C> I then get the correct response.  The same is true 
for all
            the other tests.  They operate correctly, but I only get a 
response
            after sending <CONTROL-C>.

            My intuition tells me that this has to do with the way 
HyperTerminal
            is set up.  I have tried configuring the Com port with software,
            hardware, and "none" for flow control.  There aren't a lot of 
other
            options I can think of.
