I'm having trouble closing/releasing a serial port (only tested on the Mac
so far, so not sure about Windows yet).

I'm not actually sure the correct way to deal with serial connections...
After sending a command and receiving a response, should the port be
immediately closed; or left open until my program is done with it completely
(probably when it's quit)?

Either way, when I close a serial control via serial1.close, the next time I
go to use it, it can't connect. This happens when using a drag/drop serial
control, and via instantiating by code. The only way to get it to connect
again is to unplug the serial/USB cable and reconnect it (then it works one
more time).

Just curious - When breaking in the debugger, how can I tell if the serial
connection is actually closed? Under the Globals -> Serials, it's always
there with the same settings, regardless of if I have "closed" it or not.
>From what I can tell, none of the settings change either way.

On Mac/UB 10.4.7
RB 2007

Any hints? Thanks again,

Chad
