     From IM Volume IV:
	"The Data Terminal Ready (DTR) line in the RS232 interface is now
	automatically asserted when the Serial Driver is opened; DTR is
	negated when it is closed."  (They're talking about the new SERD
	resources == 128K ROM version.)

     There are also _Control calls to assert and negate DTR:  (Issue them to
the output channel driver.)
	csCode = 17
	 This call asserts DTR.

	csCode = 18
	 This call negates DTR.
