Michael, I have not had time to download the pre5 release yet so cannot check the line number (my changes were merged with others). However, a printout of the compiler error would be useful. Also, I suspect the BlackBox you are using is for an old version of commapi as openPort() was replaced with open() in commapi2.0.
