    snip - "The problem with both SyncTerm and HtmlTerm is that they don't support the whole character set... Ivory requires the user to hit "shift @" at the start to send a checkmark symbol. That's the way it detects if the user has petscii graphics. CGterm properly send that character, but the others don't, even though they support petscii."

    How is that character mapped? I'm happy to upste SyncTERM to support it.

    Are any other keystrokes also impossible to send?
