Sample QBasic program to talk to BS2? Found Answer

Archiver

I forgot about Stamp Plot Lite from the Stamps in Class site. I'm
happily graphing and storing data to file. I did play with the Basic
example and got the hang. I can build on that code. Thanks.

You can use :
OPEN "COM1:19200,N,8,1,DS0" FOR RANDOM AS #1
PRINT #1, CHR$(27); "PE1;"; 'for output
in$ = INPUT$(1, #1) 'for input

These are some lines I've used to have the PC talk with a micro (using a
max232).
I really don't know why DS (Data Set Ready) had to be 0 in my case, but it
worked.
