I just now tried pasting (using Putty emulation from a Windows laptop connected via the serial port). I get the same loss of visual fidelity as I reported. If I paste a short word (like 4 chars. long) the problem happens (only the first character displays). But a long word pastes OK. My pasting is done by the Putty emulation and not via lynx (which doesn't seem to have cut/paste commands). So pasting seemed to work just like typing (with my keyboard processing set to produce utf-8 characters). So you could try pasting both short and long words to see if you get the same results that I did. Pasting a long word likely also results in a visual fidelity error of a slight pause after the display of the first character, but this pause is too short to notice. For typing in manually, this pause it much longer and very noticeable. > > -- Thomas E.
