"Could not initialize on port COM6 speed 38400"

Scott and I are working with the Java API with DE_Sabertooth to turn a motor. For some reason when the API is executed it throws a message
"Could not initialize on port COM6 speed 38400"
and of course the motors do not turn.
I clearly indicate in the code that this is "COM 5". We are unsure how/why it is looking for COM 6.
rr.execute("<head><version>1.8.5.7</version></head><DE_Sabertooth><motor_4_value>128</motor_4_value>"+
"<motor_5_max>255</motor_5_max>" +
"<com_port>5</com_port>" +
"<motor_15_max>255</motor_15_max>" +
"<motor_16_max>255</motor_16_max>" +
"<motor_8_value>128</motor_8_value>" +

Melanie,
As COM 0 does not exist the number in the above execute statement is off by 1. Thus for the COM port that you want you will need to subtract one and then place the number in the above code.
Thus
0 = COM 1
1 = COM 2
2 = COM 3
3 = COM 4
4 = COM 5
5 = COM 6
etc.
Try using 4 in the above code.
STeven.
