Hi Bruce,
I've only just got a MicroWriter Agenda (and no manual) so I haven't
explored its capabilities fully but IIRC you can get serial comms out of it?
Before I got my MP2K I used serialkeys (SP?) to use my PC running a
terminal emulator as a Newt keyboard and it worked OK.
So I think you could that or something like it to tell the Newt to
expect ASCII input down the serial port get the Agenda squirting the
chars you chord down its port and Bingo! job done.
Cheers.
Andy.
P.S. you don't have a spare Agenda manual do you?
