Hello Wally,

you could use a supporting file, and then you could read in it...

I'll use my precedent example:

*************************************
Private fl As File


Public Sub Form_Open()

 Desktop.RunAsRoot("cat /dev/ttyUSB1 > /tmp/a")

 fl = Open "/tmp/a" For Read Watch

End


Public Sub File_Read()

 Dim s As String

   s = File.Load("/tmp/a")

   TextEdit1.Text = s

End

**********************
