Macros

In macros you can use all characters from keyboard and any ASCII char if you use $xx or #xxx. Where $xx is hex and #xxx dec format of ascii code. If you want to use # or $ char in macro you should type it twice ($$=$ and ##=#).To calculate XOR checksum byte use %XOR command. To calculate SUM (1byte sum) checksum byte use %SUM command.
To insert delay in macro string use %DLYxxxx, where xxxx is value 0000-9999 in ms.

You can store macro in macro file. Active macro is "saved" even if you don't save it and will be available next time when you'll start Terminal. Macro string can be up to 128 characters long.

Scripting

Simple pascal syntax scripting is possible. You can write short scripts to do some simple tasks. More about supported command you can find if you click "Help" button.
Below in attachment section you can find few sample scripts to check and test functionality.

TCP/IP remote control

Terminal can also act like telnet server and listen on selected TCP port. You can connect to it with any telnet client program from another computer in network (or over internet from different location) and see what's going on in terminal and send commands etc.
