MicroWorlds Pro has some primitives for communicating with other =
devices.  They are found by clicking Help -> MicroWorlds Topics -> =
Appendices -> "For systems programmers - using the serial port ..."

The primitives are .serialinit, .setbaud, .recc, and .send.  The use of =
each is explained in the Help discussion.

My experience is a real RS-232 serial port (as opposed to USB ports) is =
required to use these primitives.

Good luck, Jeff
