I modified the Serial test program that came with the nsbasic program
to use the ir port. it was cake. Put this in your startup code:

Global e as Integer
Global gstrReceived as String
'open port
e = SerialOpen(0, 9600)
e = SerialSet("Stopbits", 1)
e = SerialSet("Handshake", 0)
e = SerialSet("IR", 1)
If e > 0 Then MsgBox "startup error " + str(e)

This is mostly from other posts. Order of above is important.
