Description:
Q. How do you communicate with the serial port?
A. Modify the AuxInOut unit described in the Reference
     Guide as follows: To read incoming data, use the Reset
     procedure before reading. Also, you should read from a
     buffer rather than directly from the serial port.
     Furthermore, the AuxInOut is not an ideal example to use as
     input buffering is not supported;  you should use the
     enclosed Technical Information Handout #407 routines for
     this purpose.
