Help!

I can't seem to use the serial port on the Rainbow.  I've tried
a few lines of code similar to what's used on an IBM (ex. OPEN "com1:...")
but I get "Device Time-Out" every time.

How does one use the serial port from BASIC?  Is it even possible?

Oh, and does anyone have a copy of Code Blue they'd like to sell *cheap*?

Ollie

p.s.  Karen, I haven't forgotten, in case you're still on the net.
