digit entries (such as ON 1 3), and also allow multiple blank spaces in between its
command parameters (such as ON 1 3).

will block you from entering commands. ScrollLock is OFF by default in HyperTerminal.
However, if you cannot type in commands, please check the ScrollLock status, which can
be viewed on status bar at the bottom of your HyperTerminal window. If ScrollLock is ON,
hit ScrollLock key again to relieve it.
