I tried control-M. No joy.

I re-wrote it to use x$=Inkey$(20,_fileno% in a loop, waiting on Control-M and it worked. I had to echo the characters received with a Print command to get them to show on the COM screen.

I opened the COM port with an interrupt routine on receiving a character. With the x$=Inkey$ loop, it fires. With the INPUT statement, it doesn't. This makes we wonder if the terminal in the COM program isn't sending characters during the INPUT command, but why would that be?
