I think we are. And there is the problem - why does that assignment not complete until the buffer has been sent? Bizarre behavior IMO. As far as methods - heh.

>I think we're saying the same thing - the act of assigning it sends it and the code doesn't continue till that's completed. It would've been more intuitive if they'd made this a method:

this.mscomm1.Output(SPACE(100))

Come to think of it I don't recall MSCOMM having *any* methods?
