Any thoughts on the following?

Output COM1
Write .vVar1
Write .vVar2
Write .vVar3
OutPut Screen

Nothing goes to the COM port.  (I have a LED communications monitor on the port)

Output Test.dat
Write .vVar1
Write .vVar2
Write .vVar3
OutPut Screen

Output COM1
Type test.dat
Output screen

Nothing goes to the COM port.

Make a batch file Test.Bat containing: 
Print /D:COM1 Test.dat
Exit

Launch Test.Bat
The data flows to the COM port perfectly.

I would like not to use the Launch command if possible.  Help states :
The following command sends data and messages to the printer, designated as 
COM1. COM1 is treated as a file that is automatically copied to a printer 
device when the OUTPUT SCREEN command is issued. 

OUTPUT COM1 

Any thoughts on how I write to the COM1 serial port directly without using 
Launch?

Thanks,
-Bob
