OK. Thank you for clarifying, but I am wonderring why you
keep saying the 'keyboard input stream' specifically.
If your users want to pass information to the RS232, give
them a TextField to type the information, that way it is
much easier for your class to collect and process the
commands.
But please explain what exactly happens between the start
and end - I still do not understand what you are trying to
give to the user, and there may be better ways to do
whatever that is.
