 Usage:
 
-On start, platoterm will automagically dial Thom Cherryhomes'
-IRATA.online, which, for reference, is "tcp connect irata.online 8005"
-in Drivewire, or "ATDirata.online:8005", in Hayesish.
+On first start, platoterm will bring you to the configuration menu to
+allow you to set the serial interface.  On subsequent boots, platoterm
+will remember this setting.  On boot, platoterm will be in a
+more-or-less "regular" terminal mode, allowing the you to type any
+connection strings that your host connection software requires.  If
+using DriveWire4 this string should be something like this:
+
+"tcp connect irata.online 8005"
+
+And in tcpser IP modem emulator:
+
+"ATDirata.online:8005"
+

-CLEAR-L    LAB
-CLEAR-E    EDIT
-CLEAR-S	   STOP
-CLEAR-D	   DATA
-ENTER      NEXT
-BREAK      enter the platoterm control menu

 All these can be shifted with "SHIFT".
 
 The control menu doesn't do much at this minute, and will be replaced
 by a nicer, slightly more modern gui.  But for now, the only real
-changeable option is the Interface.  You get (for now) two choices:
-1. Drivewire via Becker port, or 2. Drivewire via bitbanger.  option 1
-is for emulation, and option two works for the bitbanger.  Normal UART
-(drivewire and non) will be forthcoming.  All the rest of the BREAK
-menus is boloney left over from the 6502 ports this code is based on.

+connect at 9600 baud.  Using an RS232 pack will require 'tcpser' or in

-### possible driver additions:

 * CoCo3 320x200 (1bpp or 4bpp) mode.

 * A Drivewire *over* a 6551 (slow?)
 * other mice: rs232 mice, high-res, other?
