Yes, the notepad is just an example. My real attempt is to operate the external programs through Python. I know there are some "keyboard simulation" packages in Pypi which may work on this situation. But I prefer not bother to install them if Python's build-ins can do it. By the way, after Popen invokes an external program, is there a way of making it on-foucs when there are multiple Popen instances? --Jach -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
