Serial Import, no Nulls?

[Sarah]

Hi Richard,

If you look at the script in the "Open Serial Port" button in my stack, 
you will see the following line:
   open file thePort for text update
Try changing this to:
   open file thePort for binary update

I haven't tried reading any data with nulls but this would be my best 
guess on how to fix the problem.

Cheers,
Sarah
