Actually, a better algorithm would be:
while (should still communicate)
{
wait for incomming data with a small timeout
if (!timeouted)
process bytes received
if (need to send some data)
send the data
}
This way you can process incomming data a soon as PalmOS will give it you.
My previous algorithm may have allowed the receive FIFO to overflow while
your app was waiting.
One caveat :) of this algorithm is that your transmit rate will be
slowed-down by the receive timeout.
Cheers,
James.

I quote from the Palm OS Companion document that comes with the SDK.
[.. snip]
Palm OS applications are generally single-threaded, event-driven
programs.
