This won't work, as I'm entering text in a sign on screen (as opposed to a
search engine). Thus, as far as I'm aware, the only way to submit the data is
to "press" the button on screen. If this can't be scripted in Communicator,
can anyone recommend an OSAX that will do the job. Again, KeyQuencer works
some of the time, but is very inconsistant.
I've also recently noticed some JAVA scripting additions, and am wondering if
those can help accomplish the task. Is anyone familiar with these?
