After several years delay I have a need again to externally control some
Window apps that aren't designed for that. An equivalent of VBA's
"AppActivate" and "SendKeys" would do nicely.

I'm finding useful info in the archives.

While looking I came across post titled "New FAQ Post: Executing
ShellExecute using Params from a Text File" by Bob Nash (Nov 22 2002).

In it he states:
"My recent post to the FAQ is located at:
http://www.forth.com/cgi-bin/swiftforth?file=176

The posted code produces a turnkey executable, SHEX.EXE, that will
perform the ShellExecute API call using parameters specified in a
text file. The default name of the text file is SHEX.txt, but you
can specify any file you want as a commandline parameter (e.g., SHEX my
text parameters.txt)."

Unfortunately the FAQ's are no longer.
Is the code available somewhere else or could someone post it.

I suspect it will point me in direction of solving some problems.
TIA
