hyperterminal not responding to keystrokes

[John Smith]

This is my first time using hyperterminal. In the "connect to"
windows, I entered the name of the remote computer and port
number. I was able to see the greeting message from the remote
computer. But the windows did not respond to the keyboard.
Whatever I typed did not show up in the windows and had no effect.

How exactly should I communicate with hyperterminal? How do I make
it recognize the keyboard input?

Try turning on local echo. Properties > Settings > ASCII setup.
You also might want to set "send line ends.."

Note that if the remote system echos back, you'll see ddoouubbllee
what you type.
