I can't get
INPUT #_fileno%, x$
to work in MMBASIC 5.08 on a Pico to talk to a remote serial port. It just hangs and nothing I type on the remote screen seems to work. _fileno% is a variable with the file number of the COM port assigned when it was opened.
I can print to the remote screen and read data from it using
x$ = Input$(1, #_fileno%)
just fine.
I'm using a Mac and running two instances of the screen program, one connected to the Pico's USB port and one connected to a serial/USB adapter connected the UART pins on the Pico. I've also tried minicom.
I've tried both COM1 and COM2. I pretty sure the com ports are working.
I could write an input routine based on Input$, but I was hoping there was a line based input editor similar to the way Input x$ works on the main screen.
