Thanks.  I am having  difficulty in getting the serial unit to accept the data, 
but am not 
sure yet where the issue resides. (All baud, port settings, etc. match )  The 
unit requires
some ESC characters and CR and I thought that should be easy enough with the 
CHAR
command.   I will keep working on it.

Thanks,

Bob
