[oopic] Re: Trouble connecting to OOPic-R via serial cable

No Hyperterm or similar running. Not sure the best way to check what
else might have the serial port open, so I logged out and back in
again, and then only started the OOPic IDE. When I tried the same
sequence, I got the same error message. How can I explicitly query to
find out what might have it open (if it really is)? Should I try
restarting the PC instead of just loggin out?
