Hi Mike...

Errr... No. You still have it wrong... The software package that we were
discussing was RXASYNC. This is an "add-on" library of serial
functions for os/2's built-in rexx langage. RXASYNC, expects the user to
use the old-fashioned dos COMPORT number, instead of the os2 comhandle
number... This is what I was speaking of.
