keyboard input within a program with RP_WAIT=1

Hi all.

I want to realize the following.

Running program xy.Enter ALT-O. After xy is finished the script should continue. Its very important that program xy is finished before script is continuing.

I know i can use RP_WAIT=1 to wait until program is finished. But how can i simulate keystrokes via script, if script is not continuing?

Any ideas.

Best regards,

Matthias

Is program xy a Windows program and does it have a main window? If so just do:

Run Program>xy
WaitWindowOpen>xy's window title
Press ALT
Send>o
Release ALT
WaitWindowClosed>xy's window title
..
.. continue rest of script ..
..

The window title is the text that appears in the (usually blue) title bar at the top of the window.
