     I am new to Smalltalk and recently purchased Smalltalk V/Mac.  I want to
access the serial ports of my Mac.  It seems there is no ready implemented way
to do this as Smalltalk V/Mac comes in the box.  I've looked at the section in
the manual about using traps, but the serial port routines can't be accessed
through trap calls.  It looks as though the only way to go is with user
primitives.
     If someone has already done this and is willing to share their work I
would be really appreciative.  It would be nice to have...

     source code (preferably LSC v3.0 compatible)
     the VPRM code resources
     all the goodies that smalltalk needs to access the VPRM (class, methods
and blah blah blah)
     any examples that one may wish to include

     Thank you,
     Thomas A. Creedon
