Ah okay :) I think I misunderstood. I assumed "sending keystrokes" meant sending keystrokes to another console program, which is done very often in bash scripts of course (and probably why I assumed this, because it's what I'm used to doing). Just to clarify, what you are talking about is (for example) sending text to a specific text box in an application, right? If so, I don't know of any way to do that with any of the things I mentioned. I usually do it using C++ and Windows API calls (FindWindow, SendMessage, etc). WSH is probably a good idea for that (better than writing a C++ program). I'll have a look at it later. Thanks.
