I have a four-port card & I need to access these additional ports from
within my Future Basic program.  I have the driver installed, but Future
BASIC doesn't have a command to open CIn, COut, DIn, DOut, EIn, EOut, FIn,
and FOut.  I need to configure these ports for 9600 baud, open them, and
then get and receive data.  If someone can just provide me with a code
snippet to OPEN them, I think I could use all the standard FB II commands
such as LOF(x) and PRINT with them, just as I presently do with the modem &
printer ports.

This is for an industrual controls application.  Thanks in advance,
