Why, Hello Herbert...

Replying to a message of Herbert Rosenau to Mads Orbesen Troest:

 HR> 1. create a separate thread to communicate with the port.
 HR> 2. make a (simple internal protocol to communicate (and exchange data)

Thanks a budle; after you mentioned it, it seemed a perfectly obvious
solution which I never the less failed to think of. :-)

   These were the incoherent ramblings of ...
      ... Mads Orbesen Troest
