Ok, next problem!

I want to open a stream to /dev/ttyS0

eg.

com = OpenStream("/dev/ttyS0", True, True);

I want to print a a sting recieved from the serial port..

eg.
buf$ = ReadString(com);

Am I on the right track here?

Any *pointers in the right direction appreciated.

Is it really a String, or is it a sequence of characters?

I check that com <> 0, seems quite happy with this, so I guess the stream has been opened ok.

I just need an example of sending and recieving characters to the stream..

eg.

com = OpenStream("/dev/ttyS0", True, True)';

If(com <> 0) Then
WriteString("init", com)';
End If

Edit:

Working!.. got it eventually.
