Why, Hello All...

I have a somewhat banal problem that nevertheless continues to bug me: how
do I /peek/ data from the COM port? I have opened the port using DosOpen,
defined its characteristics via IOCTL and can read from it without problems
using DosRead; I have a situation, however, in which I'd like a peek at the
data without actually removing it from the buffer. How to do that, I
wonder?
