No comm port communication by way of inline script following update to Eprime 2.0.10

[David McFarlane]

Joe,

First and foremost, you should definitely contact PST Web Support at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp about this, as 
the producution release of E-Prime 2 includes a *lot* of changes to 
how it handles timing, and these could easily affect your old programs.

Chief among these is the change to using "(same as Duration)" as the 
new default for PreRelease, so I would look first there.  I regard 
this change generally as a Good Thing (see my recent essay at 
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/e-prime/bvTbL-QMgu8/discussion ), 
even though during the transitional period it may produce problems 
such as yours.  So you might look at your E-Prime objects, and make 
sure that they use the same PreRelease values as in your program 
before updating.

You may find these changes documented in the New Features Guide, and 
in several Knowledge Base articles online.  And again, please contact 
PST Web Support at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp about this.

Good luck.
