Struggling with serial comms

[Pete]

Thanks very much - I'll try it.

Doesn't address the fact that the help example seems to be junk though!!!

As a wiki editor, I take offense at your statement... Oh wait, that looks like something Clippy wrote. You're right, it's junk! Kidding aside, it's probably just too outdated. Windows put some real pressure on the way QB can access ports. Please let us know if the solution provided works for you, and I'll talk to Rho about updating the help page.

Oh, and md... when did ut become a qb64 keyword? Something Steve added?
