Task Event - WriteString?

[John]

Update:  We were able to get it running using inline script -- it needed a 
carriage return.

Prior to each event, put in an inline script with:
Serial.WriteString "RUN" & ebCrLf

If using multiple pumps in a network, precede run with the address of the 
pump:  "00 RUN" for the first pump, "01 RUN" for the second, etc.
