Actually this is unneeded. As soon as you have opened the serial port object, 
Gambas knows that there is some file descriptor to watch, and so it will 
start an event loop after Main() has terminated, and will stop the program 
only when this file descriptor is closed. But you must put your serial port 
object reference in a global variable so that it is not freed.
