You asked to understand the point of GUI automation. Alex responded with one (there may well be others) very good point of GUI automation: automated testing of the GUI's behaviour. What you raise here is not the point of GUI automation. Is you understanding of the point of GUI automation improved? -- \ “I turned to speak to God/About the world's despair; But to | `\ make bad matters worse/I found God wasn't there.” —Robert Frost | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
