Well, nuts... I was under the impression that since the wand was self
contained, it worked like a keyboard and would be able to input data into
any app - including Notepad. Sorry if I led anyone down the wrong path
with their purchase from Mark. To be honest, I hadn't played with the
scanner I got from Mark until last night, and I could get it to light up
using PT100, but that's all...
