Sending strings of text to SR eye-tracker

Is it possible to send a string of text to the eye-tracker SR plugin? All examples I have seen define a marker using <port> in which the items are numbers, but I want to send a string of letters as a marker at certain times during the experiment. I wanted to know if its possible. Something like this:

<port experimentBeginPortEyeTracker>
/ port = eyetracker
/ subport = data
/ items = ("goToWinTrial") 
</port>

Do you think the problem might be having /subport = data in this script?

I'm afraid only numerical / integer markers are possible at present, though for eye trackers the port element allows for 32 bits (not just 8 bits).
