A long time ago, I picked up rexxserdev.library. This was a function library for ARexx scripts that let you talk to the serial ports without having to play games with SER:. As I recall, about 3 revisions came out within a weeks time. A quick search of my system shows I still have the function library, but none of the docs for it. If someone knows where to find the most recent distribution of this library, I'd like to know about it as well. -=> CAW Christopher A. Wichura Multitasking.
