bluetooth devices

[namotco]

How can I access a bluetooth device in OS X?  My understanding (which  
could be wrong) is that /dev/blueThing1 won't work, because Apple  
wants us to use IOKit instead.  I'm trying to getting data from 4  
barcode scanners which are HID devices so normally they are treated  
like a keyboard.

I've heard of a solution which uses AppleScript (which I don't know),  
something about reading Apple Events.  But, this doesn't seem like  
the best solution to me...
