package though the script language is more complex for commo.  An entry in 
autoexec.bat to run the communications package with a command line script 
written by a user could reach out to the braille device and wake it up and

a set command to set things like com ports and speed and the like.  The 
output command sends commands down the port line which is com1 unless 
changed by a user or script then you have an input statement and specify 
what you expect the device to send back to mskermit.  Then it's a matter
