I have a set of hardware buttons and switches to connect to the pc via the serial port most likely. I would like these buttons to trigger events in my movie. So in a nutshell, how exactly can I use Lingo to listen to a port and react to what it finds there? I don't believe it's necessary for LIngo to communicate back across the port. Thank you in advance for your help.
