  Neat-O!  That's what I've been doing, I'm just so well-trained in
accessing them more directly under DOS, that it seems wrong somehow.  :-)  
Still, I would like to know how to use MAXCOMM.DLL for baud rate, 
communications parameters, etc.  I realize that IOCTLs can change these 
parameters, but I'd rather not duplicate code already loaded in that DLL.
