I am using a PRO 350 with toolkit v2. I am trying to force a QIO to the XK0: device to time out. The manual describes a method which would be lovely if it worked. I need to transfer data from XK0: and the only way I can detect when the transmission has ended is to time out. This leaves characters in a partially filled buffer, but since the QIO never completes I can't get to them. Niether the 0 time timeout parameter (ie. complete imediately) or the values greater than 0 work. The QIO just waits forever. Thanks in advance for any help.
