Hi Dar,

Quite possibly -- I didn't actually test the above
code and it could be dependent on the speed of the
connection. If you're sure you'll get a linefeed at
the end of the reply, it's better to wait for that to
drop by :-)
So a better version of the handler 'DataSent' is :
--
on DataSent pSocket
  read from socket pSocket until numToChar(13) \
       with message "DataRead"
end DataSent
--

Tested and it works -- thanks for the reminder,

Jan Schenkel.
