- lines now properly ignored.
- - uses {labels: '_all,...} for ERASE and DUMP
- - adds \ line continuation char to combine multiple tab-delimited and
- hex ("binary") lines e.g., you now can transfer much larger data
- entries (such as sound resources ~64,000 chars in length) with more
- terminal emulator programs
- - adds No Sleep checkbox to prevent loss of data on long xfers
- - shortens view by rearranging, eliminating some status info. view draggable
