Thanks René !
Even though there is no Rx interrupt code
I will have a carefull look at your code with joy !

Well if none of you handles system common messages, I don't feel so bad.

Here is some code I wrote some years back, and cobbled something 
together to be run in a shell, so you can actually examine this without 
the hassle of a embedded environment or ISRs etc.

Best,
