I'd like to encourage anyone attempting to script to a native Windows application to call us first. In about ten minutes, we can introduce the Windows Connection to you and see how it can be used with your application. It's very different from the other connections, but so far (since 1998) it's been able to do everything that it's been asked to do, even some things that shouldn't be possible.
We're starting on a project to put this introduction into an animated Flash demo, so that questions like Henry's will be handled without having to go through the fairly dull description in our documentation. Henry, I'll give you a call.

With a Stream connection, you can "see" the application window you're working with, and can thus select text to create your prompts, you can enter things, etc. I can't figure out how to do something similar for a Windows app. I need a real simple, straightforward explanation of how to get started, please. Can anyone help? Henry Taylor Applications Analyst Lutheran Health Network Ph. (260) 425-3914
