Dear oh dear. Probably because I'm being dense.

And the obvious answer - if it's software handshaking I should be able to
see it with software.
Having written a program to feed the serial port arbitary bytes and
capture and log arbitary bytes received back, I find 0x13 and 0x11
bracketting the RCX responses. So I conclude that teh RCX is XONing and
XOFFing, and while I've only checked with short transfers (10s of bytes)
if it's doing it for them, I guess it's doing it for all communication.

So I conclude - probably. Odd though, because it's not something I've come
across before with that terminal application.
I guess I'll just write my own file upload routine. _Then_ I'll start
learning forth!
