[Coco] Bit-Banger Serial as external console?

[M. David Johnson]

Thanks, Stephen -

Okay, I clearly didn't word my question properly. I apologize.

I'm generally not having any problem with printing to a text file via the Vcc BitBanger's capture tab. I do it all the time. It works just fine under DOS too.

The specific problem I'm having is that I can't figure out how to print at all from Talbot's ColorForth 1.1.

I've read Section 12.2 "Printing" in the ColorForth Manual, and I've LSCR'd CCF-MISC, but ColorForth still doesn't seem to recognize the "PRINT" word.

Since Stephen Pereira did the rewrite on ColorForth, I was hoping he might point me to something I've missed.

In VCC configuration tab there is a BitBanger tab to set a capture tab.

I only tried using OS-9.

Warning, there may be a bug in that the first line stops the capture.
I never could figure out where the bug was, in my program, the "/P" 
driver or VCC.

YMMV.
