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.

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>:-)

pking600
Send Email Send Email
 
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

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

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).

in the documentation for 0.99b15 isn't right, and I
