yeah but?

I looked at SERIN2 in the PBP manual, don't know what you're getting at.

I may just forget the array idea -- went back to 13 bytes in a row and now that isn't even cooking.

Trying to fiddle with the timeout to see if that's it -- but once again, reading the PBP manual on certain subjects is fruitless.

For example, they say there is an optional timeout and say it's in milliseconds -- AND THAT'S IT.

No examples -- no info about "default timeouts" -- I've said it before, it's the worst manual I've ever had.

By the way, my other SERIN projects work great (even ones I've interfaced to the PC with VBnet).
