/*
  XBee terminal
  language: processing
  
  This program is a basic serial terminal program.  
  It replaces newline characters from the keyboard 
  with return characters.  It's designed for use with 
  Linux, Unix, and OS X and XBee radios, because the XBees 
  don't send newline characters back.
