Danielle, You need to first open the port with SrmOpen(). Here is a sample:
err = SrmOpen(0x8001,9600,&portId); once open, you use the portId variable (or "handle") in subsequent SrmXYZ functions. SrmReceiveFlush(portId,32) ... SrmClose(portId) the 0x8001 value is only used during the open. to open the port for IrComm, cooked class, use 'ircm' rather than 0x8001. For Bluetooth, serial port profile, 'rfcm', etc. For some samples with the straight api (no POL), try : http://www.palm-communications.com/tutorials.asp hope this helps.
