Near infrared Spec/Exp/Harmony

[David McFarlane]

Jimmy,

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) PST's trained staff 
takes any and all questions at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , and they 
strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours (although current 
estimates are more like 10 days) -- this is pretty much their 
substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of it.  3) If 
you do get an answer from PST Web Support, please extend the courtesy 
of posting their reply back here for the sake of others.

That said, here is my take...

I do not think that inline code will help you here, unless you want 
to write an entire Bluetooth driver in E-Basic, which I highly advise 
against, because if you knew enough to be able to write a Bluetooth 
driver then you would already know why you would not want to write it 
in E-Basic.  I am afraid that you will have to wait until PST adds 
Bluetooth support to E-Prime, and really I do not yet see any reason 
that they would want to do such a thing, although I would like to 
hear others weigh in on that.  Your best bet other than that is to 
find a DLL that will add the needed Bluetooth support, and then 
figure out how to add the relevant Decalare statements to use those 
DLL functions in E-Basic (see the Declare topic in the online E-Basic 
Help).  Good luck with that!
