I tried to open the comm port using OpenComm() and works. But when I try to get the DCB it fails. Questions: 1. How Actor works with WINDOWS.H structures and how I can access an specific field inside the structure? 2. How I can define my own structures? 3. How Actor handles the C pointer declaration (How the pointer declaration translate to Actor)? Thank you in advance, Miguel Rivera
