[CoolTerm-Betas] Virtual terminal

[Franzi Edo.]

Hi all,
Maybe a very useful functionality to add to CoolTerm.
On the embedded targets, often we have only 1 physical uart. The idea is to let CoolTerm to open more terminal sessions and encapsulate/decapsulate the messages sent/received on the physical uart.
Ex.
CoolTerm on Virtual com 1 managed by the Window 1: send “message xyz”
CoolTerm on Virtual com 2 managed by the Window 2: send “lalala”
CoolTerm on Virtual com 3 managed by the Window 3: send “okokokok”

These messages have to be encapsulated with a programmable header/footer before the sending on a selected physical uart.
So, CoolTerm should operate in this way for sending all the messages
Example of header/footer +++0 ---0


+++0message xyz---0+++1lalala---1+++3okokokok---3  sent on the uart

At the target level is then easy to decapsulated the messages and use them in the appropriate environments.

Of course, the opposite (from the target to the CoolTerm uses the same mechanism).
What do you think?
