[TIB] Re: Get/Send Command in Basic


Okay, this I know:

the Get or Send command works through the graphlink. 
However, it's meant to work for the CBL.  The motion
detector device.  Some people have adapted the command
to reach other calcs, but I think they ended up using
ASM for the best and most efficient way of doing it. 
IR?  Don't worry, if you can get it to work with a
graphlink, then IR should work as well.  As long as
both calcs have a port on them of course.  ;)

Hope this helps any.
