This falls in line with a lot of other things as well. First, use Request Off
to turn off the AMOS requesters. Then use Trap Serial Open
Channel,Port,Shared,XMode,7Wires : If Errtrap Then <serial port unavailable>
Use similar code for opening files, etc. and you will put more control in your
program's hands as well as hiding the AMOSness of the program.
