Charles, great idea, but I don't think this is the right programming
environment for doors. CA will only allow PM applications, no
text-interface support what-so-ever. 


As for serial I/O in CA, I don't know, I sold my CA soon after I installed it...

CA will not create a completely stand-alone applications as it is not a
basic compiler. Whatever developed code that you release to the public,
must also include a runtime module that is a bit over 700K in size... 

Another reason that I sold my CA soon after installing it. :')

CA is powerful and highly flexible, but has a couple of "major
features" that I am not willing to work with (or without) and I named
them above...
