Hi!

I had the SetCommTimeouts line commented out.  I just have a couple of 
prints before and after the CloseHandle line.

I didn't write the C++ program, but it looks like it never closes the serial 
port.  It opens it when it starts up, then keeps it open until it quits. 
Tsk tsk tsk.  Sloppy.  Maybe they did that to cover up this problem. :)
