That would be C_WaitForSlotEvent. That's where a provider, which was registered during C_Initialize, comes with a smartcard reader. That providers performs an event when a card is inserted or removed. For C_GetSlotList, it's looking more at providers like PCI cards that get dynamically reconfigured on or off the system. I don't believe USB sticks or dongles were being consider in such a fashion.. Not to say it couldn't be, just not the intent.. Tony
