Interesting. “~” didn’t work for me. I used “%” and that worked as well as $df=1.
As for the other stuff. I”ll keep it for reference, but my setup works perfect now and I’m not going to mess with it. I’m done with cool term which didn’t work well for me either. Too many glitches like tgfx. That’s why I decided to bypass all that and write something real simple. Thanks !

Alden – Thanks for the info. I’ll try that. I have Version 8 and I’m using 435.10 firmware build, 0.97 firmware version and 1.00 Hardware platform. My TinyG ID=2u2971-YQY. The reason my settings file doesn’t list that is because I use the file in the above (chgsettings.txt) to update my TinyG. It’s based on the output from tgfx. TGFX caused me too many problems and didn’t always update settings when I changed them. So, I dumped it from tgfx and deleted tgfx totally. I took that dumped file and added the “$” in the front of the value and an “=” after the value and deleted all other text after it’s number value. I cat chsettings.txt to the TinyG which updates every time without fail. chsettings.txt is what is currently loaded on my TinyG.
================================
cmcgrath5035 – I used the “!” to halt. $df=1 clears the buffer in TinyG. I read this on a blog somewhere. When I don’t use $df=1 and press “r” to go right — halt –then I can’t go right again until I go in another direction first. With the $df=1 I can keep pressing “r” then “h” then “r” then “h” until I get where I want to be.

Thanks for your help ! Will update you if I fix it alden.
