   I have the IBM Workset/2 and am trying to set up a serial port using the
DosDevIOCtl function call.  Apparently it's syntax has changed from past
versions of OS/2.  The sample code and old (circa 1.2) manuals I have list
the parameters in a different order from that given by the Workset/2 online
help.

   Unfortunately, the online help only tells how the pointers to the parameter
blocks are passed, not what should be IN the parameter blocks.

   Does anyone have any info - possibly a bit of sample code on setting the
baud rate, stop bits, etc. using this function?  (... and what the heck book
does one find this stuff in?)
