I was curious enough to feed GPIB and EOI into a search engine, and from what I got back, I believe it is not a character, but rather a hardware line that may be asserted or not. GPIB, whatever that is, may support some configuration options where EOI causes a character output, but the actual value depends on configuration. The documentation is probably the place to find out more about this stuff. Donn Cave, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
