I found a remark about the same problem for an
application written for OS 3.1 and earlier. One possible
cheat/fix for this is to install the "old" enhanced Ir
driver, the one intended for OS 3.0/3.1. <br>This way
HotPaw Basic and my SH888 cellphone seem to get contact
through the IR-port. Haven't been able to test it very
much, though, but at least I get ERROR back from the
IR-modem using the HotPaw Basic example application from
the Readme file.

Has anyone tried the combination PalmIIIx, OS 3.3
and IrDa infrared modem?<br>I can't figure out how to
get response from the modem by redirecting the serial
communication to the ir-port. I am not sure if what is referred
to as SIR ir mode in the documentation is the same
as IRCOMM in OS 3.3.

I keep getting a syntax error when I try to use fn btncode?  What is the proper
syntax for it?

The "subsequent datebook find" works fine in beta
.9960. Thankyou! <br>Tried it out this morning
(norwegian time).<br><br>But another problem arises: The
"Datebook find" function seem to skip repeated
entries.<br><br>Is there a clue I'm missing? Can't find anything
about it in the doc's.<br><br>I'm close to finishing my
"Datebook Categorizer", but I need to find and show the
repeated datebook entries too!<br><br>It works like this :
When I seek for entries containing a specific string
in a given date interval, my app shows a list of
every entry satisfying the search criteria. But entries
with "Repeat" turned on does not show up in my list,
even if they contain the search string. If I remove
the repeat option from this datebook entry - it shows
up like it should have done in the first
place.<br><br>It would have been nice to have the possibility to
show all instances of the repeated entry, with an
option to show only the first and/or the last
one.<br><br>I guess this yields for the Datebook write
function, put "date", as well.<br><br>Maybe this requires
use of some more s$()-registers, to be able to
specify all necessary parameters of these datebook
entries.<br><br>Keep up the good work!<br><br>:-)

Hi<br><br>I'm trying to make an app to find
specific entries in the datebook, but when I test your
example app on datebook lookup (6a) it does not work like
I want it to.<br>Example : I have three entries for
today, and example 6a in the readme file tells me that
by using <br><br>find("date",0,d) <br><br>then I
find the first of todays entries (works fine), and by
repeatedly using <br><br>find("date",-12,d) <br><br>then
example 6a should give me the other entries for today,
one by one.<br><br>Well, it appears that the example
is just giving me the first entry over and over, and
it never terminates the while-wend
loop.<br><br>Why?<br><br>:-)

Hi,<br><br>&gt; open "com1:",9600,ir as
#5<br>&gt;But the application just terminates,<br><br>The open
command only works inside a program. When the program
execution ends, the port is automatically closed. This is
to prevent battery drain from accidentally leaving
the serial port open.<br><br>The fn serial(5)
function and get$(5,1) command should see and pick up any
bytes coming in the serial port, but, again, only
until<br>program execution ends or a "close" command, whichever
comes first. So you may have to loop and poll the port
for awhile.<br><br>See the example for details. Feel
free to email questions to the address in the "Get
Info" dialog.<br><br>- HotPaw2

Well, actually I've done some programming mistake
here. So the app from the example seems to work, but
I'm not sure that I get characters back from the
phone through the ir port. Nothing shows on the palm
screen. Have to do some more experiments.<br><br>:-)

Hi<br><br>I'm experimenting with HotPaw Basic,
trying to implement some infrared communication between
my Palm IIIx (OS 3.3) and my Ericsson SH888
cellphone.<br><br>I've tried your example application from the
readme-file, which should enable me to send grafitti through
the serial port. I have redirected the stream to the
ir port by changing the "open" statement to
<br><br>open "com1:",9600,ir as #5<br><br>But the application
just terminates, without giving me the chance to enter
a single grafitti-stroke.<br><br>What's the clue to
make this work?<br><br>Best regards,<br>Magnus

It would be really interesting to have resources support (at least tFRM).
Resource editing would be done with RsrcEdit (www.individeo.net).
