as with others who've asked similar questions over the last eight months on
the use-rev list, he was pointed to the "open driver" command; but in all
cases, in followups asking for more info, examples, or a specific question
about the parameters to "open driver", answers have come there none - at
least on the list.

It would be unfair to quote one KM who wrote in January this year

but oops I just did.  More generally, has anyone yet managed to communicate
with a USB device in MetaCard or Rev - and if so, could they share their
experience?

TIA
