Sorry - I guess I am using CTS - it is connected to ground!

What's different between the PIC RS232 and the Max chip to the PC?

The PIC does TTL and the MAX does RS232.

What is the command you are sending that causes trouble or does it matter which one?

All of the Vdrive2 commands work but once only and then the power needs cycling.

I think it's some CTR/RTS thing?

I've just tried a different terminal program - and it all works OK.

The terminal program incorporated in PBP won't work?

Just to the right of the send button in the MCS terminal is a place to set the CR-LF on send.
Maybe that is setup wrong??

I'm using Microcode Studio Plus and I can't find the button to set the CR-LF option?
