I have an application that uses the serial port to control a custom piece of gear( hard coded to 34,000 8, N, 1). I am using CW7, 3.5SDK and the old serial manager (the palms are 111e's with 3.1 - non-flashable). I need to send a short string like "!|01C\r\n" out the serial port. I have all the serial code working okay only it seems to work off and on. I have the same application running in VB on a Windows laptop and it runs perfectly. I have used a serial program called "Online" to send the command on the palm. With that program, if I type in the characters and hit return(send) nothing happens. Then when I put the string into a macro on that same software I get the same problem as on the palm, sometimes it works and sometime it does not. The software has a feature called "PACE" and when I set the Pace function to a higher setting, suddenly it send the macro and my equipment send backs the correct response every single time. What their help manual says is it sends one character at a time with short waits in between characters. What i want to know, it this feature of the Palm OS or a routine I would have to write? Thanks, james M. Wadkins
