RE: Command to read from a (communication) LINE -- MIDRANGE-L

Jerry,

I couldn't find even a starting point.  Must have off-loaded the code to
tape...

I looked at Shannon O'Donnell's example code, and I didn't understand much
of it (probably because I don't know anything about CPI-C).  And when folks
start talking ack/nak's and all that, I'm less than clueless.

What I recall of the process is a BSC file, opened in the RPG as a WORKSTN.
Needed the right keywords (IIRC, TURNAROUND,etc.) and needed the read/write
loops JUST SO...  Take me 3 years to recreate that kind of thing...;-)  It
might compile, but wouldn't run...

Give me a clue and I'll run with it for a while...  But I won't recall the
fundamentals, so won't be able to answer any questions about why the code
doesn't work...  Don't have sufficient interest, myself, to actually test
and debug the thing...  So I can only run with it, to a point...

jt

| well, all the hard stuff is done.  I thought you might just clean it up.
| You know, close.
