Printf problems

[jonpaul]

I'm having trouble with printf statements. More specifically, I have a menu I want to display with options over a serial port to be picked up by hyperterminal. However, when I run the code I don't get a nice left justified menu, but more of a waterfall effect. It seems my \n isn't a true line feed. What is going on? This seems like there should be a simple fix, but I'm at a loss.

Here's the code:

do
{


printf("Welcome to the TB2 Flash Configurator\n");
printf("Please pick from the following options:\n");
printf("(1) Read flashID\n");
printf("(2) Write flashID\n");
printf("(3) Read Rindex\n");
printf("(4) Write Rindex\n");
printf("(5) Print array contents\n");
printf("(6) Write array contents\n");
printf("(7) Print memory contents\n");
printf("Choice: ");
choice=getc();


Any clues?

It's a line feed only. That's the problem. With CCS,
you need to use "\r" to get the carriage return.
Example:

printf("Hello World\n\r");

You should review the example files to see how CCS does things.
The files are in this folder: C:\Program Files\Picc\Examples
