Martin, FileReadChars does not work correctly. It always reads 0 characters, regardless of how many you tell it to read. This makes it a little difficult to read text files, no? Or is there another way to do so? I called tech support about this and was told it was a known bug whose only workaround is to write some kind of program that could read a file and work through an ARexx port. I didn't want to go through that much trouble. (There's a small chance its FileWriteChars that has the problem…I don't recall exactly, and my application needed to use both routines.) BTW, I got my CanDo application which uses SerialManager to sort of work. Turns out I had forgotten to specify 'NORESULTS' on the SendMessage. It seems to me you don't ever need immediate results. If you set NORESULTS and the application you're communicating with sends a result it should show up at your ARexx ListenTo port. Or am I missing something? I've got a new problem with my application, however. When logging on to Tymnet (I think; one of the services, anyway) you have to type a terminal identifier (lower case 'a' or 'e'). I thought I could do this by: SetBufferSize 1 SetCRMode OFF SetAutoEOLMode OFF Send a (These would all be sent via 'SendMessage…,NORESULTS'). For some reason this does not work. Any ideas? Any luck tracking down that downloading application you mentioned earlier? – Mark
