Using procomm to control other applications?

[funkmonster]

Let me start by saying I'm not a programmer so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm interested in finding out if I can use Procomm/Aspect to control another windows application. Basically all I need to do is open the application, simulate some key strokes and then close it and continue with the Procomm script. Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

Yes, for the most part you would use the sendkey and sendkeystr commands to select the menu items, etc. on the application you are trying to manipulate. Usually the easiest way is to have Procomm launch the application directly so it has focus by default.
