I have been testing the INPUT command and the INPUT$ function after results from another post. I have an MM2 which is connected to COM3 and it is running the program:
DO
PRINT "Hello I'm the MM2"
PAUSE(10)
LOOP
PRINT "Hello I'm the MM2"
PAUSE(10)
LOOP
I have verified the output using Teraterm
Using MMB4W running this program:
OPEN "com3: 38400" AS #2
test$ = INPUT$(20,#2)
PRINT test$
CLOSE #2
test$ = INPUT$(20,#2)
PRINT test$
CLOSE #2
I get this result:
If I run this program:
OPEN "com3: 38400" AS #2
input #2, test$
print test$
CLOSE #2
input #2, test$
print test$
CLOSE #2
MMB4W opens and crashes and I see nothing
Both programs work as expected (by me) in MMBasic for DOS. Sometimes the result is garbled until it is synchronised by the PAUSE in the MM2 but that is not surprising.
I believe this is a bug or 2 unless I am doing something stupid.

Edit: Forgot to mention that TassyJim found this but it seemed to go unnoticed.
