Thanks Dave But maybe i don�t explain myself very well. Is it possible for "any" application ( no matter who made it) to receive ASCII data from the IR PORT from my custom device? I am building a customized keyboard for the PALM. The hardware is already made. I tested it in a POCKET PC and works fine, but now i need to test it in a PALM. I didn�t know that only one application runs at a time on the PALM. Maybe that makes the work easier (maybe not). The problem is how to do THAT application (not to say any) receive the ASCII data from the IR. Dario
