Hi. This works for ending an EXE, without dropping DTR: IF comport$ <> "0" THEN CLOSE #1 OUT portadd, 3 END IF ' 4 portadd = &H2EC ' 3 portadd = &H3EC ' 2 portadd = &H2FC ' 1 portadd = &H3FC I suppose it would work for chaining to an exe or shelling, all you have to do is re-open it, there is a bug fix out there somewhere but isn't it much easier to use this? --- Maximus 2.01wb * Origin: The BULLpen BBS * Intel 14.4EX (613)549-5168 (1:249/140)
