Hmmm, that's pretty good. Do you think you could make all the other programs use that file too? If I define my CD-RW as QueFire in that file, then "mount QueFire /mnt" had ought to mount it I think. Also, "dd if=QueFire" should read from the device, and "cat QueFire" too. It could get kind of confusing if I had a file named QueFire as well though.
