Press ...
All commands starting with Press facilitate the sending of non-character keys. To issue a Press command more than once add the '*' symbol followed by the number of times to issue the command at the end of the line:
Press Key * n
E.g.:
Press Tab * 5
Use SK_DELAY to insert a delay between key presses. Set SK_DELAY to a number of milliseconds to wait between key presses. Th default value for SK_DELAY is 0.
By setting PRESS_ALLOWVARS to 1, Press can accept a variable name in place of the key name.
