Ok, since context doesn't pass well over text, I hope I didn't say
that one in an offensive manner (is the '!' an exasperation or a
enthusiasm?)

It'd be nice to have a trivial form of control that doesn't need me to
run any unusual commands.

Right now, I user the pvr250[I hit tab here] command, but if I could
simply do an echo/redirection, it would feel a lot more natural to me
I guess (more UNIXy), and since it would be interfacing the device
directly, I wouldn't get the obnoxious bktr warnings.


Thanks,
