UPDATE:

It turns out that to get the HP instrument to actually interpret and
act on commands, the OPEN COM has to include the LF parameter.

My suspicion that it was ignoring me was well founded.

Several other quirky bits came out in the wash.  All I can say is that
I am glad I don't have to deal with HP-Basic!!!!!!

In the final form, I am using LINE INPUT# and stripping all the
leading <LF>'s to get the raw data.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
