externals

[Brian Yennie]

Randall,

Unfortunately it seems you are looking for a high-level API to take  
care of a very low level job. There simply isn't an API for  
everything. You are probably going to have to get your hands dirty in  
C if this is your goal. If you know the OS APIs you want to tap into,  
you could work on building externals in C. If you don't, time to do  
some research =). You will definitely need to build separate externals  
for each operating system as well.

Maybe not what you were hoping for, but I hope that helps.
