Built into what? I don't see much USB control (game controller sockets)

Well, the single switch was just one example, sorry I made it look too
exclusive.

Single switches can be handled relatively easy in several ways, including
keyboard overlays. My current study is a SuperCard project which is designed
to use a stick with only up and down and the trigger.

I have several projects I've had to shove back because I can't setup
controllers from within the software. I want the user to be able to adjust
it themselves, meaning from the interface I've designed for them.

I'll probably port them to the first xTalk that comes up with that feature
or reliable external.

Sure, thanks. On or off list is OK.
