I have used the following with a driver for a Keyspan USB-to-serial adapter on a mac: read from driver tWxPort until empty in 100 milliseconds The in time part at the end is a timeout - without that it can just hang. If it times out, the result is set to "time out" or something like that, so you can (should) check for it. I think the word empty is what you want, rather than end or EOF. Those both expect something explicit marking the end to be sent, I think, whereas most things just stop sending (as in empty). Wishing you good luck, this can be frustrating until it starts working when you get all your ducks (turtles?) in a row. .Jerry _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
