   currently connected to the    
   PC. So far I haven't found anything about how to do that. Any suggestions   
   appreciated!

   Perhaps the following will help:   
      
   combined with a "button pusher" app called PTFBpro that includes visual   
   triggers which would react depending on the image presented as suggested   
   above.
