input from serial port

[wesf]

What is the easiest way to read a stream of information from the serial port (using 9.1D)? In the Progress help for "Input from", it says you can input from a 'opsys-device'. I assume this 'opsys-device' can be a serial port, but it doesn't list how to reference the serial port. Do I use 'COM1', etc... to access whatever port I want?
Thanks,
Wes

Update

OK, I found the some code on www.fast4gl.com. It's the serial.i.txt file. Has anybody used this before? I'm cautious about trying code from the 'net. There's not much documentation on this procedure, and it's going to be a pain to test this to see if it works.
Thanks,
Wes
