Any way to use BlueTooth Flic barcode scanner in Rev?

 Scott - - this is great info, thanks!
 
 So it sounds like the only drawback is:
 
 1) A clunky cable interface
 
 I forgot to ask - - - are you doing this on a Mac or Windows platform? Would this work with a Mac?
 
 How does the scanner know that the data actually made it into the computer before it deletes all it's contents?

OK, it's pretty basic -- the scanner sends the barcode digits to any region
on the screen that can accept text, which means you can scan a code into a
Rev field that has focus.  As you guessed above, the scanner sends barcodes
in the form of keystrokes (keyDown message).  I tried scanning an iTunes
gift card barcode and it works.
