I finally had a chance to look at the new remote control options (MCCommands.h) introduced in recent builds.  It's nice but could be even better if some of these commands, or new commands, could take string parameters.  I'd like to switch to a specified playlist but I'm sure there are others that would be of interest.

I believe this could be done pretty easily using the global atom table (GlobalAddAtom/GlobalGetAtomName).  It would probably require the use of SendMessage over PostMessage by the calling program to make sure MC could grab a handle to the string before it was deleted.  Otherwise it shouldn't be difficult.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.
