to use CTS, you must ensure your terminal software handle it. If you're using MicroCode studio... it does'nt. Only RealTerm, or others with proper FlowControl setting CTS/RTS or DSR/DTR will stop when you clear CTS... in the worst case... $#%#$!#%$##*#$* hyperterm can stop too... if you're able to make it work... $%$### hyperterm ...
BTW, at this poit, it looks like any of those terminal program i use, handle poor the flow control. I can stop, receive echo back a character of 4Mb files without any delay between receive, but if i place 5-10 or else uSec or mSec delay between each CTS i'm screw up. it's skip character, or i get garbage...
still looks like the program stop serial out in the middle of a character or else.
i figure i'll have to make my own software... again. we can't never trust somebody on this earth... still a pain to have a 100% workable program... Terminal 2.xyz is a big piece of &^&^%@@$%... sorry for the person who refer this program...
As Bruce said, 2 way comm is the way... i agree. Probably better than CTS/RTS bulls.h.i.t... wich is probably just good enough to start transfer and stop at the end... or - i'm missing something trivial on that.
- my terminal program is not good enough.. but for sure better than Hyperterm

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
