I don't consider myself a 'ToolBook pro' but you might find it worth
contacting Asymetrix and enquiring about their (unsupported) multimedia
toolkit.  This includes serial port drivers for Pioneer videodisk machines
and support for the VideoLogic DVA-4000 video-in-a-window card.  Scripts
for the former (at least) make use of TBK-COMM.DLL which may be what you
require.  Sorry to be vague but I haven't got the right kit to check
these things out and haven't had long enough with the software to have
a good poke around.  I got the kit from a UK dealer - I don't know what
its official status is or whether it's downloadable from the Asymetrix BBS.

Someone from Asymetrix popped up on comp.mac.hypercard a while back.  If
there is sufficient interest it might be worth alerting the company to
the traffic in this newsgroup?
