This is similar to the syntax used by Pro Audio for deÞning Dump
Request Macros, where a combination of literal hex bytes and symbolic
names specify how a particular Sysx message should be generated. You
can enter a byte of a message as either a hexadecimal or decimal
constant or as a symbolic alias name.
MCI Command
The widget sends MCI (Media Control Interface) commands, which
belong to MicrosoftÕs multimedia control language. If the text is longer
than a single line of text, each line will be sent as its own MCI command.
MCI allows single commands of up to 256 bytes long.
Binding
Binding verbs let the widget directly trigger any Pro Audio command or
respond to open dialog boxes. For example, you could link one button to
the Edit-Undo command, another to the Go-Previous Measure
command, and another to the File-Open command.

Note:
Pro Audio cannot tell whether F0 means the number hex 00F0 or the
alias F0. So you must type the preÞx $ or 0x in front of any hex byte
(e.g.: 0xF0) so that it wonÕt be interpreted as an alias name by Pro
Audio. A number without a leading preÞx is assumed to be decimal,
so 10 is ten, but $10 or 0x10 is sixteen.
