ROUTINE: EYELINKcommand
PURPOSE:
  uses int eyecmd_printf(char *fmt, ...)
  The Eyelink tracker accepts text commands through the link.
  These commands may be used to configure the system, open
  data file, and so on. This function is used with the same formatting
  methods as printf(), allowing numbers to be included in commands.
  The function waits up to 500 msec for a success or failure code to
  be returned from the tracker, then returns the error code NO_REPLY.
  RETURNS: 0 if OK, else errorcode.
