It looks like using the Win 32 API is the logical way.  I have not used the 
Win API to send device control signals, and have not been able to track down 
a reference on which function(s) to utilize.  If you could pass on which 
function to use, or a reference, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help
