Hi,

if your task is only to choose one from three possible selections, I
suggest Procomm Plus. You can manage this simple task with its scripting
language.

If your problem is rather complex, I suggest the Micro-C for PC from Dave
Dunfield (www.dunfield.com). I personally use it with success. It has a
built-in interrupt-driven serial communication interface. Better yet, it
has menuing and windowing environment, and it is pretty bug-free. For $25
is a true bargain. The only minus it does not support floating-point
numbers.

I hope this helps.

 After selection is made the PIC does what it is programmed to do. Question: Wha
t language should I write the user interface in?? I've never done this before, (
tried to control something via PC) and I am not sure where to start. Should it,
or can it be done by either QBASIC or C?? What about ProComm Plus?? Any suggesti
ons would be of great help!!!!! Thanks in advance!!!
