        Thanks to all who replied. As it turns out, the two keys to this problem were (1) the 1.5 stop bits; and (2) RESTARTING BB after an error (wow!). I thought 1.5 stop bits was a quaint cosmetic error, because I had forgotten that there was such a thing some time in the Paleolithic. ( 'COM1' may or may not be a valid choice, but I had already tried 'COM1:' ).

        V24 does seem to be finicky about this, but I've found that other run-time environments and debuggers can also be finicky with serial communications. I've added a note to the documentation about point 2 above.

        I haven't yet had a chance to check this out thoroughly, but I do want to reply before too many other people spend time on this. If you hear from me again, it will be either (1) another plaintive cry for help or (2) a report on how well it worked out.

Thanks again.
Rex Couture
