Benji, This appears to be exactly what we need. I also see that by changing "Command Prompt" to "Notepad" or another application, the key strokes are sent there.
With this capability, other possibilities open up. Is there a way to read the output from the from the console window? For example, how can we capture the output of the dir command? Thank you for your help. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
