Me too!  If anyone knows how to do this, please post  it to the
net.  I would think there would be an overwhelming interest in this
sort of thing.  However, I can't help but think that this has to
be more involved/difficult than I (and obviously Randy) think it is.
If it were just this easy, surely someone would be cranking these
things out left and right.  After all, I would assume that this would
be equally useful in the Mac and the Atari ST.  Am I wrong.  I hope
there is a hardware type out there that can enlighten us.
