Well, I finally got my manual's from commodore.... whew, Nearly 7 Weeks (or more). The documentation is excellent, congratulations Amiga and Commodore. Questions: I went through the device driver's to get access to the serial port. Eventually, I came up with a signal number that I could use (1 << n) in a Wait() routine. However, I also have a file-handle from an Open("Raw:... ), from which I'm getting keyboard info. I can use Wait() for the serial port, WaitForChar() for the file handle. * My question is, how can I wait for both at the same time? e.g. there is no signal number for the file-handle. * The returned file-handle from an Open() is an odd address. Was this done on purpose to prevent people from indirecting through it? Or do I have to do a transformation on it? * What does the Memory-Overlay bit do?? it isn't documented (or I can't find any documentation on it) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dos RAW: device is excellently done. The dos SER: device is lousy.. completely useless. -Matt
