Hello world

I am totally ignorant about anything OS2 but I am writing a programme that
will run under the OS2 environment. The programme is an on line dial up
information programme which uses the telephone network. The programme
manageing the whole thing creates a new 'thread' each time a call comes in
and runs my code for each call. What I need to know is has anyone out there
any tips for me - I really need some input on how OS2 passes the characters
comming in via the telephone line to the different versions of my code i.e.
what function do I envoke to a) check if a character is sitting in the
communication buffer and b) if there is a character how do I get it out of
the buffer.

Thanks to all those who will reply.
