Overview

The usercode sends a string with a command (and flags) expressed in words in it... We do our best to call aprobiate drivers, and return a errorcode AND a readable string (if lpstrRS!=NULL) Info gathered by watching cool134.exe and from Borland's mcistrwh.hlp.

Fixme

"All" is a valid devicetype and we should access all devices if it is used. (Imagine "close all"). Not implemented yet.
