This is an XPR 2.0 implementation of the ASCII protocol(?).
based on xprascii.library 0.9 by W.G.J. Langeveld

There's nothing really fancy about it..(-:
Configurable options are:
`char delay', `line delay', `line-feed translation',
`carriage-return translation', `expand blank lines',
`prompt char' and `strip high bit'.
(C)har delay: C<ticks>
-------------
A numeric value in ticks (1 tick = 20msecs) which causes XPr-ASCII
to wait (also called "pacing") before transmitting each character.
Values between zero and 500 (10 secs) are valid.
(default: 0).
(L)ine delay: L<ticks>
-------------
Milliseconds to wait between the transmission of each line
of text. The same limits of the character delay option
described in the previous section apply here.
(default: 0)
carriage-(R)eturn translation: R<n|s|x|a>
------------------------------
The three options available determine how an incoming carriage
return is to be handled. You can either do nothing via the
(N)one option, (S)trip it, e(X)change for a linefeed <LF>,
or (A)dd a linefeed <LF> character to it.
(default: "None")
line-(F)eed translation: F<n|s|x|a>
------------------------
Like the CR transl. feature described in the paragraph above, you
can also select how an incoming linefeed <LF> character is to be
translated. As above, you can leave it alone (None), (S)trip it,
e(X)change for a <CR> or (A)dd a carriage return <CR> character to it.
(default: "None")
(S)trip high bit: S<0|1>
-----------------
Use this option if you want the high bit of each character
reset that is received when using 8N1.
(default: off)
(E)xpand blanks: E<0|1>
----------------
When this feature is selected, XPr-ASCII will send one space
character for lines which contain only an end-of-line
character. Use this option when the on-line text editor
you're using exits its input mode whenever a carriage return
is received without any text preceding it.
(default: ON).
(P)rompt char: P<char>
--------------
Instructs XPr-ASCII to wait for a specific character after
transmitting a line of text. If blank, text is sent
continuously without interruption for the duration of the
transfer.
(default: blank{=space}).
