	"""XBeeTerm.py is a XBee serial command shell for interacting with XBee radios

	This command interpretors establishes communications with XBee radios so that AT Commands can be sent to the XBee.
	The interpretors output is color coded to help distinguish user input, from XBee radio output, and from
	interpretors output. This command-line interpretor uses Python module Cmd, and therefore, inherit bash-like history-list
	editing (e.g. Control-P or up-arrow scrolls back to the last command, Control-N or down-arrow forward to the next one,
	Control-F or right-arrow moves the cursor to the right non-destructively, Control-B or left-arrow moves the cursor
	to the left non-destructively, etc.).
