Thanks for your reply, Mike.

I installed the RXTX software for the VM that came with the JEmplode installer so that would be in the /jre/ folders in the JEmplode directory. At the moment that is the only VM installed on my system to keep things simple.

It would be nice to find some way to test RXTX without using JEmplode, but unfortunately my laptop, being so modern, doesn't have any serial ports! :-(

I don't think the file upload problem was due to the accelerators, I just used the CTRL notation to describe which functions I was using. The same problem occurs if you use the toolbar buttons.

That sounds pretty neat, I'll look forward to making use of that functionality soon. Even if it did automatically update I wasn't expecting it could handle changes by Emplode - not that I use Emplode much these days anyway.
