I can't answer your first question on using ReadComm, but I can help on the
edit field questions.

First, you can send text to the Edit field by using SendMesssage(WM_CHAR).
Nice how that works (and surprising, too, knowing some of what Microsoft
has done...).

You can subclass the edit field to filter input messages -- basically, you
substitute your own window proc that handles some messages and passes the
rest to the regular edit field processing.  I have a sample program that
does this (creating a numeric-only edit field); e-mail me for a copy, or if
there is demand I can post it.
