Why do you care?

You have a VERY NARROW task.

You want to send text strings to a serial port and have it 
auto-increment and then pause for you to hit OK.

Read this very carefully:

I have already coded pretty much all of it in AppleScript Editor.

The SerialPort scripting addition lists my available serial ports.

I need to code to open a port.

I get a dialog box that shows me the number the script thinks it should 
start with (based on a persistent property store with the compiled app).

I hit return.

I need to code the sending of the text to the serial port.

It increments the number

And repeats.

Hit "Cancel" in the dialog and the program ends.

Done.
