usage: Com1 = value

COM1 and COM2 are integer variables controlling the operation of the two asynchronous serial input/output ports on Macintosh or IBM type computers. Changing the value of COM1 or COM2 results in an immediate change in the operating parameters of the associated port.

The bit-fields in the COM1 variable are as follows:
