Thanks, but I knew that...what I want to do is to work on a Door Program that
will inherit the open port handle.  I would like to know how to use that open
comm handle.  Or I would like to know if I use the DosOpen and start up and
program trying to grab that comm port will it have problems if the BBS has it.
(if that made sense)
