Great :)
I only have another 23 or so show numbers to script...

This is good - It makes the cue start simple to understand.

I am using the dataport on the back of the LCX to emulate a 'fader 
start' command direct into the back of the CD player.  The cue generates 
a 100ms 5v->0v->5v pulse on one of the pins. The CD starts to play 
within 1ms of the leading edge of the pulse.  Simplicity itself - no 
extra hardware (other than the plugs & wires) needed!!!

Thanks for that!

It would be better if I could use longer comments or named queues ;)
