I actually figured it out. I guess i can't do all three steps, open, send,
then close right after each other. Once i split them up, and had to call
them seperately it worked. But another question, does anyone know how to
get the number of Char's in a string other thant StrLen? I have to step
through the string checkinf the char and the refeence says it won't work
correctly with all devices since it returns the number of bytes. Thanks
again
