menu-command macro recorder utility for FM?

[Shmuel Wolfson]

You can use AutoIt for a lot of what you want to do. It's a very easy to 
learn scripting language that selects windows and types for you. Since 
in Windows you can do most tasks with ALT and CTRL keys, typing is 
enough to do most tasks. You can also use it for mouse clicks, but that 
takes a bit more work. The pods that were introduced in FM9 are a 
problem for AutoIt because the pods don't have standard window names and 
you can use ALT keys on them, but the main windows work fine.

The main advantage of AutoIt is that it's really easy to learn and you 
can use it for any Windows program.

Attached is a PPT presentation (in PDF format) and some sample files.
