I think my problem is bounce back noise.
I doubled checked the port settings, started with
a fresh set of batteries, made sure I had a clear buffer,
but what made the difference is where I am doing my programming.
I'm working off of a laptop, and when I'm in my office,
I have problems with the garbage echoing on the screen.
When I'm at home with the same laptop, no problems.
The TCL terminal emulator works great. For some reason,
I am getting extraneous signals at work. I suppose it
could be bounce back or maybe another source of IR signals.
Anyway, Steve, Jeff, thanks for the help. I'll work at
repositioning the IR tower at work to see if I can get
rid of the IR noise.

You might consider covering the RCX and tower with a box or towel... I'm glad the terminal emulator works (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
