Looking for USB remote control ...

I looked at the info and didn't see anything to help programmers
using a Mac or Revolution.

With HyperCard I was able to control X10 devices but never really
went much further due to many things not related to programming.

I suspect Rev could easily control X10.  Are there any examples?
