General purpose serial terminals don't typically provide a function like that. What's the purpose of repeatedly transmitting the identical message?I know it turned ito a spaggeti bowl ! What i need is a general purpose terminal app.

I haven't installed the latest version of GCB yet but I doubt that the terminal looks any different than my version. Here's a screenshot of a macro I wrote that sends that string every 100mS. I'm reading the Input buffer because I'm using a Loop-back Tester. So anything I transmit echos back to the RX buffer.
This is the first time I've ever used this terminal and I'm impressed. It took me a total of 5 minutes to figure out how to use the terminal and write this simple textual macro.

Best of all GCB will nurse you off Picaxe.
Yes i am at this point a while now since i havent had the slightest idea about programming before i came across Picaxe. Seriously now i really dont know a thing about programming besides the very basic commands of Picaxe.So it seemed I'd be stuck with Picaxe forever.
Is it a software simulation or does it actually transmitts the text through the PC's rs232 port ?This is the first time I've ever used this terminal and I'm impressed. It took me a total of 5 minutes to figure out how to use the terminal and write this simple textual macro.
When I said that I tested it with a Loop Back Tester it should have been a clue that it's quite real.Is it a software simulation or does it actually transmitts the text through the PC's rs232 port ?
I was referring to this statement. If that's happening then you have miss-wired it and you could damage your serial port. On the other hand I may be misinterpreting you.<snip>
The problem with the circuit in post #61 is the diode that protects the transistor from reverse voltages.
when rs232 line is -15V That diode pulls my rs232 line to ground through the 10k resistor.
