With a GUI there is no way to describe the series of mouse
'motions'/'clicks'/
'double-clicks'/'drags' and keypresses required to perform an operation.
'screen coordinates' are meaningless when a window, or icon, or button,
may be
'repositioned' at will.
An _individual_ application may allow scripting via an internal command
language,
but since it is internal to the app, and *not* part of the GUI, it
doesn't
'generalize' (no guarantee that similar capability is present in any
other app)
*AND* is utterly worthless for 'automating' annything that involves more
than
the single app.
For Windows OSes there is actually a rather nice tool out there,
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/
which allows you to script the GUI cross-app.
