Hi Again Steve,

It worked alright, meaning the 64.

19,200 and singing, thanks to you.

I am looking now at another thing, maybe you can help me here too.

I want the program to wait untill I sent it **play# then react to the digital that follow upto a certain ending character like !

This compiles and works
HSERIN [WAIT("**play#")]

Then I wanted to the processor to pic up the next 6 characters after the **play#, so I send to the PIC **play#123456. looking at other examples the code should be like this:

HSERIN [WAIT("**play#")STR data\6]

wait for **play# then then next 6 characters will be present in data, well I wish, I get an error with syntax

ERROR Line 59: Expected ']'.

Also I read in the manual STR ArrayVar\n{\c}
Receive string of n characters optionally ended in character c

Does this mean I dont have to specify the value of n

HSERIN [WAIT("**play#")STR data\n\"!"]

wait for **play# and copy the next characters upto the ! to data.


Or am I getting totallly mixed up.

Have you got a few examples I could try.

Hope I am not imterupting you steve with all these questions.

Loredana.
