Make sure you use the %803F (REDIR INPUT) and %8042 (REDIR OUTPUT) for the GETCH and PUTCH calls.
Then from MINT you can redirect input and output to easily load and save MINT programs to a serially connected PC.
#11#E2\! will redirect output to both the microbee screen and serial connection.
#10#E4\! will redirect input from the serial connection.
A value of #1 will revert the input and output back to normal.
If using a Null modem COM port to a microbee emulator on a PC, you may find you'll need to set a 100ms delay between characters & 1000ms between lines.
Loading & Saving MINT programs is as easy as cutting & pasting text between the terminal emulator you're using and a text editor.
