I guess I am not quite sure what programming question to ask, but let
me explain what I need to do and perhaps someone can give me pointers:

I have a programmable parallel port whose starting address I know. I now
need to use this I/O port to read a button i.e., when the button is pressed
(sort of like Jeopardy buzzers) my program goes and takes data and locks out
the button till it is ready for more data.  I would naturally like to do
this in TP 4+.
Has anyone had any experience doing this? Any ideas on where to look?

Thanks in advance,
