I'm trying to open a comm port for input into a text file. This is what I think I should do:
Open comm1.portopen for input as #FileNum1
The program I'm writing, opens comm 2 and writes the data to a text file. Is this the correct, or best way?
Please do not E-mail me, just post a reply to this group. Thanks in advance. Jeff

Just do:
comm1.portopen = true
It does not work with Basic's Open statement and you can not use basic's normal file I/O routines on it.
Check the help file under other tech sources or something like that, then go to professional help files, then to Communications.
