The documentation for te.comin() originally read:
String ComIn
ComIn()
Waits for a character to be received at the communications line, and returns it as a string.
ltr = te.ComIn();
This is incorrect. te.comin() does not wait, but checks the communications line instantaneously. The current, correct documentation reads:
String ComIn
ComIn()
Looks for a character to be received at the communications line and returns it as a string. If no character is received, returns a zero-length string.
ltr = te.ComIn();

The te.terminal() method has no timeout settings. It still times out after 95 seconds. This was fixed in TinyTERM 4.30.

The SSH connection type allows you to choose from four encryption methods: None, DES, Blowfish and Triple DES. Only the latter two work in TinyTERM Plus versions prior to 4.30.

When a portion of the text in the TinyTERM window is blinking, none of the text can be selected for long, even the non-blinking areas. You can select text initially, but as soon as something blinks, the selection disappears.
This was changed in TinyTERM 4.30. Selecting text temporarily disables the blink attribute until the selection is somehow canceled.

TinyTERM 4.x does not allow you to remap the Print Screen or Pause key. This functionality was added in TinyTERM 4.30. It was lost again in TinyTERM 4.31.

Using TERM for Linux 6.2.5b, connect to a tty that has a modem installed. Connect to the modem, then go to the TERM menu, or type ^E to get the c=> prompt, and type H for Hangup. TERM locks up. The TSL HANGUP command will do the same thing. This is fixed in TERM 6.28.

Selecting characters in the TinyTERM 4.x window is not quite the same as other Windows applications. For example, to select a single line of text, you must drag the mouse diagonally across the line from start to finish, rather than straight. This was changed in TinyTERM 4.30 to make it more like other applications.
Century Software, Inc., has also had a request to add double-click word selection. Double-clicking on a single letter would highlight the entire word, up to but not including any spaces on either end of the word. This has not been implemented thus far.
CR 348, improved highlighting
CR 760, double-click

In TinyTERM’s Session Properties, configure a script to launch at Post session start. It starts while the splash graphic is still displayed. For many scripts this is not a problem, but if the script has a te.read() command or something similar, the script pauses at that point waiting for input. Since the splash is still on the screen, the user can’t see the prompt, and TinyTERM is effectively hung before it has finished loading.
This isn’t a problem for the second session and beyond. If you launch tt.exe with multiple .tpx files, and the first does not have a post-session start script defined, there is no problem.
This is due to a timing error. Commands like te.read() require an active TE object. That loads much later in the process, and forms the main screen of TinyTERM. For multiple sessions, the second and subsequent do not load until the first is finished, bypassing the timing problem. It was fixed in TinyTERM 4.30.

TinyTERM 4.x does not have the copy and paste functions mapped to keys by default. You can set this up through keyboard mapping.
In the keyboard mapper, click the Chart Open button. On the chart, click the F button in the upper right to get a list of functions. You can drag COPY and PASTE from that chart to any keys on the keyboard.
You can also do this through CScript commands. In the keyboard mapper, select the key you want to use for copying text. Change the Action to MACRO. In the Value line, enter:
te.copy();
For pasting copied text, the command is:
te.paste();
