Barcode readers (at least, like the one I used to have) are really easy - they simply emulate the keyboard and "type" the barcode value (preceeded by a special keycode that tells you it's a barcode) into the currently selected field or whatever. In the case of serial devices, you'll want a serial IO Xtra such as serialXtra to communicate with the device. - Robert [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
