Hey folks!
Sorry about the last blank posting. . .
I am about to start my first project doing MIDI programming on the Mac.  I 
have been reading Volume V of Inside Mac on the Sound Manager and had a few 
questions.

1) In all the places I see them discuss how nicely the Sound Manager can be 
used to send data out the serial port, never do I see it mentioned which
serial port, or if this is configurable.  Anyone know what the deal is here?

2) A lot of this chapter seems tentative.  Anyone know if it is accurate?

3) When it lists all the commands that can be used with the MIDI output
modifier, none of them seem to play a note.  I was kinda hoping to play
at least one note at some point :-)  Did I miss something?

Any advice, sample code, anything people might have on this would be helpful.
