[PD] comport

[justin c. rounds]

has anyone had any experience using the comport object on a win2k 
machine to send data?

i'm actually trying to send commands to a lego mindstorms rcx via the ir 
tower (in case there are any mindstorm users out there), but any related 
comport advice/patches would be greatly appreciated.

one specific question: how should i send data to the object? i've been 
using messages with bytes (as decimal and hex) separated by spaces, but 
so far with minimal results.

some info on the protocol can be found at 
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~kekoa/rcx/protocol.html

-- thanks!
