Ooops,
Figured it out. When you set the RCXTTY variable, leave out the spaces.
ie: set RCXTTY=com4
NOT: set RCXTTY = com4
The whitespace is not parsed out by the MS-DOS command line.
Now that I have the frmdl3.exe and dll.exe recognizing com4, I'm having
a different problem...
I try to load helloworld.lx with: dll helloworld.lx
I get the following messages: sending keepalive...
sending keepalive...
sending keepalive...
sending keepalive...
sending keepalive...
error deleting program
I get this even if I specify a program slot with the -p parameter.
Ideas?
Thanks again,
Dave
