After working with my code for a while I noticed that the INPUT statement was 
not getting all of  the buffer data. If I clicked the read button four times, 
it cleared the buffer. Then I could click the write button without getting 
the error.

I changed to LINE INPUT and that solved the problem.

As far as readng directly from a device. I think the driver "ttySx" looks 
like a file to the system.
