I am working on getting fig-FORTH to run on a new 6502 system.
I attach to the system thru a serial port with a terminal emulator.
FORTH comes up and seems to function fairly well at this point.

There is no storage system yet, so all programming is manually typed in (again and again after every reset).
This is getting to be quite tedious as I try to implement an editor and storage system.

I believe I have read here that some people write programs with a simple text editor on the PC and then read that file into their systems.
My question is how to achieve this?
I am currently using TeraTerm but I don't see an obvious way to send a text file.

Thanks for any advice you may have.

Depends on your terminal program. Per https://ttssh2.osdn.jp/manual/4/en/macr ... dfile.html the command in TeraTerm is sendfile <filename> <binary flag.>

Congratulations on getting your system & FIG Forth running!

I haven't played with Tera Term, but looking at the documentation...
On the menus, under "File", there is "Send File" that looks useful.

It may be simpler than you thought possible. :D See my explanation in my workbench-computers page at http://wilsonminesco.com/BenchCPU/#ctrl (cued up to the heading "How it is controlled"). No terminal program needed. As long as you can mark a block in your text file and output that block to an RS-232 port, that's all you need. Dr Jefyll uses a parallel printer port instead. The host computer thinks it's just printing the marked block.

What's an additional VIA among friends, anyhow?

Wow, thanks for the quick replies, it's like we're in the same room!

All good stuff, hopefully I can keep making progress now.
