[WriteLog] Assistance needed

25 Aug 2000 18:40:17 -0700

Good Idea, but dont think it will work. Do the following and see if it helps.
If WriteLog will 
not communicate with your PK-232, it may be necessary to do the 
editing described below. 
Using NotePad edit C:\Windows\writelog.ini as follows: 
In the file, go to the section labeled [Ports]. 
Look at the line for the Com port you intend to use. It will
look like this: 
COM1:=9600,n,8,1,x 
Check to be sure all parameters are correct, then Delete the
final x (but not 
the comma). It should look like this: 
COM1:=9600,n,8,1, 
Click on File, Save. Then open WriteLog; this should allow 
your PK-232 to communicate with WriteLog. 
There are other hinks about the PK-232 and Writelog on my webpage
