I am trying to program with the mac comm toolbox. I want to
open a connection manager and then open a terminal window
to connect to a vax, then I want to close the terminal window
but leave the port active reading and writing data to and
from the port. I am using think pascal (latest version). 

I am following examples from Dr. Dobbs, but I have no other
examples to work from. When I go to allocate a handle for
the connection manager, it comes back zero. I don't know
other examples so I don't know if the Dr. Dobbs article was
correct. 

The example that comes with the toolbox works ok. Is there
source code for the example around? could someone take pity on
me and email the example? The manual is not too intuitive,
and I wonder if some of my steps are out of order. Has anyone
got examples to do what I want to do???

Thanks,
