your variable names are somewhat less than descriptive, but it appears
that "c" refers to an MSComm control on your form. what physical device
do you have attached to your COM1 port ? have you established all or
any of these other settings ?

MSComm.port        (port number)
MSComm.settings    (baud rate, parity, start/stop bits)
MSComm.inputlen
MSComm.inputmode
MSComm.portopen    (= .t. to use    = .f. when done)

e.g. have you matched your 'settings' to that of the physical device ?

are you _sure_ the characters are getting TO your COM1 port ?

if you do a lot of this kind of thing, a regular breakout box is an
inexpensive investment. better yet, if you have an old ascii monitor,
you can wire up a tap on the rs232 cable and watch exactly what characters
are passing to or from or both.
