I have a program which will interrigate a piece of hardware for inforamtion.
The recieved data has no handshaking protocol.

Here's the problem. I want to run a few lines of program on a button click),
look at the Rx comm1 buffer. If empty, wait indefinatly. If something
present, run the Oncomm_event for a time (about 1 or 2 secs) which will
store each piece of data into a array. As the data stream lasts only a
second or two, continue storing data.
 After 2 secs, go back to where I left off, run some more program, clear
buffer and repeat.
In other words, on button click, test Rx buffer.
If charatcer in buffer, collect all characters recieved for 2 secs,
Go back to program, reset buffer and repeat,


Any ideas?

How can I, on a button click, let a program wait until the comm1 recieve
buffer (which starts empty), wait until something arrives, then with the
Oncomm event, collect all the information (and store them into a dimensioned
variable) which
