My instructions suggest one use a character delay.  I found that the
monitor program will bomb if it gets its instructions too fast anyway.  For
the OP, I felt this was the simplest straight-forward method to get TSC
BASIC running.  I tested and documented the process, worked for me very
reliably and it eliminiates the need to do anything other than get to the
monitor prompt  to work.
