Help with Saving 200+ FrameMaker 7 files in FM 9

[Shmuel Wolfson]

This would be a perfect use for AutoIt. It's a free Windows scripting 
tool. You could write a very short script that would stay in a loop and 
click OK for you. Below is a sample AutoIt script.

Dim $max
Dim $x = 1

$max = InputBox("","How many iterations?","5")
While $x <= $max
    WinActivate("Adobe FrameMaker")
    WinWaitActive("Adobe FrameMaker")
    Send("!tr")
    Sleep(100)
    Send("!n")
    Send("!s")
    Sleep(200)
    Send("{TAB 4}")
    $x = $x + 1
WEnd
