rcaputo++ Thanks for your help! It makes using POE fun...

Everything you say makes sense to me, and I've redone my test program to use select_read() - see below. It works great on unix, but I get no text showing up either on STDOUT or in the text window under activestate (after re-commenting the use POE statements appropriately). Any pointers here?

Thanks
