Paul and Eiko,
I just checked OSXvnc's source code. Their code led me to the right place, but it's fairly complex for a beginner (like myself) to learn how to post keyboard events (generate keystrokes or simulating keyboard input).
The functions needed for this are in Quartz / Core Graphics. OSXvnc still uses CGPostKeyboardEvent, which is now deprecated in 10.6. Apple suggests CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent as a substitute.
Check Developer Documentation for more information. There's a code snippet in CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent's reference that makes things very clear.
Cheers,
Flavio
