At one of my clients, they plug in a USB scanner and it is recognized as a 
removeable disk.  So my RBase program simply retrieves a file E:\Scanner.txt

They are going to buy a different scanner which they will also plug into the 
same USB port and import into the same RBase program, but the file will be in a 
different format.  So what I would like to do is automatically "recognize" what 
device is plugged in.  Is there any kind of environment value that I can 
retrieve that distinguishes one USB device from another, some kind of "name?   
Otherwise I'll just have to ask them to select the device from a list.  Would 
be cool if I could automate it though!
