Hi Joe I think the thing about character based tools where for Unix. On Windows NT it isn't quite the same issue. Of course the functionality of onmonitor is important. All (or most) of that *must* of course be put into the ROM tool (or some adittional GUI tool). To have to work with command line tools on Windows NT is somewhat backward to say the least.
