  15. Hi Jurgen,
  16.  
  17. >I use this: OpenSerial "ser:",0,9600,0
  18. I think you are confusing what is meant by device$. What it actually means
  19. is the system device which you are opening to talk to the serial port, (erm,
  20. not really making myself clear am I :-(  time for an example)
  21.  
  22. It should be
  23.            ok=OpenSerial("serial.device",0,9600,0)
  24. (warning, the name of the device is case sensitive !)
  25.  
  26. Or possibly
  27.            ok=OpenSerial("BaudBandit.device",0,9600,0)
  28. if you have baudbandit to control your serial comms.
  29.  
  30. Here's a working example
  31.  
  32.                   ok=OpenSerial("serial.device",0,9600,0)
  33.                   If ok
  34.                     NPrint "Yippee It worked"
  35.                   Else
  36.                     NPrint "Oh Bugger, no it didn't"
  37.                   End If
  38.                   ClickMouse
  39.                   CloseSerial 0
  40.  
  41. Hope this make things clearer..
  42.  
  43.
