@Kolban
Gordon,
Aha!! The light bulb just went on for me after reading this post. Tonight after work I'll be studying this in GREAT detail but I think I see what you are saying. Basically, at the ESP8266 networking level that is SPECIFIC to the ESP8266 (i.e. the lowest level of the Espruino stack and the board specific code) ... THAT library should maintain state on socket connections and when the higher level functions ask ESP8266 to do something ... even though the connection has not been formed ... that socket data structure will have private STATE (and this is where I missed the key point) ... it will return 0 for sends and receives ... but when the ESP8266 (actual) connect callback returns, that will change the state so that subsequent sends and receives will now be honored.
Again... THANK YOU for your extreme patience. I'm going to try and write this story down for others who follow as well.
Neil
