# This short and stupid script is intended to be used

# It guarantees the terminal window won't disappear immediately
# if minicom fails to start (but shows an informative message).
#
# We need the script not to quote and escape this command in a 
# cumbersome way in a menu entry, so that it is understood by any
# windowing environment.
