<g> Sorry. I didn't mean that noone had answered my question on the
discussion group. I just meant that activity has been low since I've been
monitoring it and I didn't hold much hope.

I'll try that tonight.

This is probably the best bet, but I tried commenting things out and moving
code around, and, of course, visually inspecting the code. I'm using Win NT
and the Borland IDE to edit my code (simply because that's what I'm familiar
with). I started with a sample shell application and added an include :
#include <SerialMgr.h>.
Tell, you what. I'll proceed with your suggestions and, if I can't resolve
the problem, can I email you the file and you can compile it for grins ?
TIA
Eric
