Newest version of MyFORTHshell and MyFORTHshellANSIconsole ready for download.
ANSIconsole improved.
This SW now seems to support MECRISP FORTH also, I have been told:-)
Terminal window improved: Reduced or NO "flicker" at all, when a lot of data in window :-)
Get more from your keyboard in FORTH (From Ver. 6.5):
MyFORTHshellANSIcosole and MyFORTHshell now supports using Function Keys F1..F12.
"KEY" in FORTH will receive hex codes $F0..FC for these keys.
OBS: In MyFORTHshellANSIconsole F11 will switch between Normal and Full screen mode, and sends no code to serial line.
In MyFORTHshellANSIconsole (not My FORTHshell), following keys are sending codes (a single byte) to FORTH:
Insert $CD
Home $CE
PageUp $CF
Delete Sends no code but switches between Full and Normal screen.
End $DE
PageUp $DF
If you really will have full control over the Windows ANSI console via ESCape codes, checkout this fine document:

There is no install to run - just download, unpack and start using :-)
To DOWNLOAD MyFORTHshell Ver.6.7 and MyFORTHshellANSIconsole Ver.3.0
use this link to my DropBox:
https://bit.ly/MyFORTHshell66 (is in fact Ver. 6.7 now :-)
Both EXE files have to be placed in the same DIR if you will start the ANSI Console via the menu or button in MyFORTHshell.
OBS: the MyFORTHshell and MyFORTHshellANSIconsole programs currently communicates together using TCP/IP, so your security/antivirus systems might warn you.
Both programs comes as ZIPped *.EXE files, which also might trigger your security systems. Bot don't worry.
