   Yes, I know RS-232 well from past experience using it to control   
   instruments and test wireless communications systems (long ago). For   
   interfacing the serial port to read an external switch, the other modem   
   lines can be used to read up to 3 switches (maybe 4).   
      
   For my audio recording program, I currently have one button to start and   
   stop recording. I plan to add two more buttons: one to start and stop   
   playback of the last recorded file in the sequence,and another to redo   
   the last recording. All three should be readable from a single serial port.
