Bob may have much of what you are asking for.
Many years ago I made a form filling stack. The user clicked on various 
controls an/or images, and either a popup of available options or a dialog 
appeared. It worked as if each image, say, was its own popUp. Once the 
selection was made, the user was brought to the next step. If that step 
sequence was not hard-coded, it was left to the user to select that next step.
Not sure about your UI, but this sort of thing is simple to implement in LC.

Subject: Re: Automating User Input

Is this going to be strictly an LC app or are you going to try and use the 
browser in LC? I have functions that "remember" things typed into a field, and 
auto-complete based on what the user types. The weakness is of course that if 
you have words that are very similar, especially at the beginning, you would 
need to type a lot before you ever got to the unique word you were looking for. 

I can modify the script so that hitting the right or left (up or down??) arrows 
will cycle through the matches.
