I would like to transfer programmes to and from Tera Term and the parent PC. I am using TT with uMite.

I can copy and paste from Tera Term to a text file on the PC and I can copy from the PC text file and it shows up ok on the Tera Term clipboard but when I paste, I get a rubbishy version of what is on the clip board. TT help doesn't help much.

Can I in fact do this or what am I doing wrong?

edit update:

If I put the uMite into "edit" mode and set the comm port transmit delay to say 80, I get a clean copy which will run ok. But I could just about type faster than the transfer rate. Is the slowness due to transferring the data to the uMite flash?

Start by trying with a small selection of text.
Paste uses Alt_V instead of the usual Ctrl_V
The right mouse button also pastes immediately unless you have disabled that in Setup/Additional settings/Copy and Paste.

I use MMedit so I have little experience with pasting full programs using TT.

Edit:
under the above settings, you can set the LINE delay which should help.

Would using xmodem not be better (and easier) to transfer programs?

Quite likely. The last time I used Christensen protocol was with the Micro Professor and an 8" floppy based cpM machine(a lifetime ago).

Any pointers on, say, writing a programme to a text file and then transferring it to Tera Term?

The uMite has XMODEM command to send and receive programs.
Also an AUTOSAVE command to stream text to the uMite.

Would those not work?
If i misunderstand the goal maybe an example can clear that up.

I can make autosave work using cut and paste from a text file but xmodem is causing me a little grief. It is too late at night I think and I'm too tired - tomorrow I try again.

Further to above, I have been lucky to get anything working properly. I had a wobbly connection in the cheap Chinese serial cable. All is doing what it is supposed to and files transfer both ways happily.
