Okay, I feel stupid now.

I must say, the dictionary entry for "write to driver" does not quite reach the 
standard of "crystal clear" on the USB issue.

Years ago, I had a hyperCard stack that would make outogoing phone calls for 
me, with modem commands. The added convenience was not so great as I had 
expected, so I eventually stopped using it. I've had some vague notion that 
LiveCode retained this ability.

As I open the memory port and write "ponder," I read a dim response. This was a 
time when modems had a dedicated serial port that was supported in some version 
of HyperCard.
