I would prefer to get the raw button press/release events with no filtering but haven't been able to find out how to do it. Here are the interface values I am using: page=1 cookie=14 usage=86 kHIDUsage_GD_SystemAppMenu page=1 cookie=15 usage=89 kHIDUsage_GD_SystemMenu page=1 cookie=16 usage=8a kHIDUsage_GD_SystemMenuRight page=1 cookie=17 usage=8b kHIDUsage_GD_SystemMenuLeft page=1 cookie=1d usage=8c kHIDUsage_GD_SystemMenuUp page=1 cookie=1e usage=8d kHIDUsage_GD_SystemMenuDown I am using IOHIDDeviceInterface122 and IOHIDQueueInterface and some related calls to obtain the events. I have attempted to use "page 0xc" of the IR interface but that didn't seem to do anything useful. As an example of the unwanted filtering: When I press/release "increase/decrease volume", I get the press/release events as they physically happened (my desired behavior); when I press "fast-forward/reverse", I only get a press event upon a physical release and only if I do it in a certain amount of time (which limits the usefulness of my application). In iTunes you can hold down "fast-forward" and it works as expected, so it is getting more information than I'm able to get so far. Thanks for any help!

I then opened a new file with vi calling it myc and I put the following line in it: cd /Developer/sandbox/myc The issue here is slightly subtle, and might not be apparent from the first pages of a scripting introduction, so it might be useful to explain it here. Every (non-built-in) command you type starts a new child process, including the script which contains this line. When you invoked it, it created a new process, which was almost completely a copy of your existing process, and then it changed directory _within that process_. The script, and the process, then terminated, leaving the current directory in the parent unchanged. Check your sh-intro under the description of 'export' for environment variables.

There are plenty of sites out there with this kind of support; mailing lists; etc. If you belong to (or Join) The ACM, they have online courses for such as this. Also, check out O'Reilly's website; they have many "in a nutshell"-type books on these subjects. Also, join the Apple Developer Program. There are various levels of participation, from free to expensive, and there is a boatload of information available at <http://developer.apple.com> One more thing: it's a really bad idea to put your stuff in "system" directories (like /System and /usr). Two alternatives are: - use /usr/local for your stuff (e.g., put 'll' in /usr/local/bin) - make your own private 'bin' directory, and put it in your PATH: - put 'll' in, say, ~/bin, and - put ~/bin in your PATH variable (in your personal shell startup file) The latter may be the best, because you don't need to fuss with permissions. I then opened a new file with vi calling it myc and I put the following line in it: cd /Developer/sandbox/myc however when I myc nothing happens, literally, no error, and no change in directory no matter where I am. First, 'cd' is not a command-line program; it is what's called a built- in function in the shell. There's a reason it's built into the shell, as you discovered. The 'cd' command (and its underlying system call) changes the "current working directory" for the process making the call. The sole purpose for this is to permit "relative file naming": you can use "a/b/c", to locate the file 'c' relative to the working directory for the process in question, instead of having to know the path to that working directory. The tricky part is this: you want to do this in the shell as well as in a program, so you can say, for example, cat foo instead of the laborious and error-prone cat /very/long/path/to/the/file/foo But: if you execute the 'cd' command/system call in a process, the process is spawned, the directory is changed *for that process*, the process exits, and things are as they were before (i.e., the working directory for the shell is the same as before your "myc" command was executed. Therefore, as a special case, shells will implement 'cd' directly, so that the effect of the 'cd' lingers on. Is there a similar way to use aliases on the mac so I can have typing short-cuts when on the commandline? Same trick should work here. The only thing to be wary of is what shell you are using. The default for Mac OS X is 'bash'. The man pages will describe what to do for whatever shell you choose. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
