Thanks for the help.
I have installed TMS and my C++ window now sports a new tab with various icons.
I'm still not quite sure how it works though. I have a driver disk for the USB device I need to communicate with. How does this interact with the C code? Do I simply plug in the devcice, install the driver and then use the various icons on TMS to communicate?

Confused.
