Ok, here's exactly what I do:

When it is ready to end, it comes to these lines...

DEF SEG=&H40
ProtAddr%=&H2F8
CLOSE #1
OUT PortAddr% + 4, 3
OPEN "COM2:" FOR INPUT AS #1
END
<End>
I made a typing mistake.. ProtAddr% up there is actually
PortAddr%. Whenever I do this, it hangs up.  I tried
setting S25 even as high as 200, but it didn't help any
other than delaying the time it takes to hang up.  Any
ideas?
