Yesterday I experimented with the Serial IO code in the FAQ.  I have a couple of questions though.  Here is the basic program that I wrote to try to understand this stuff:

I wrote this into hb_lib.c:

void disable_pcode_serial()
/* necessary to receive characters using serial_getchar */
{
   poke(0x3c, 1);
}

Then my program looked like this:

void tester()
{
   disable_pcode_serial();
   printf("Press the Start Button\n");
   start_button();
}

I thought that the HB would disconnect from my PC, then prompt for the Start Button to be pressed.  But instead it would disconnect from my PC until I pressed the Start Button.  I was just wondering why exactly this is happening?

Thanks for any help,
WilL
