I believe that LPT is just a serial port.  So the Serial class would speak to 
that.  I don't think RB has direct support for the Parallel port, but if I'm 
wrong, hopefully somebody with more experience in Windows will correct me.
LPT ports are parallel. COM ports are serial.

I am trying to get the name of the user that is logged in in Windows using the method available in the Windows Functionality Suite, but the result is not behaving as I expect. It looks like there's a character between every character that I expect, and it is causing major problems with displaying - for example, in a message box, only the text before the unexpected character is displayed. Could this be an encoding problem? How do I fix this?


Thanks,
Andrew Keller
