If I'm reading this correctly, I can send my own message (whatever's
javascript for "put Abc123 into field SomeField", "chose ChooseMe from
scrolling list scroll" or "push button someButton") to a web page?

I can't even remember how many times I've learned and forgotten C & C++
over the years. Most languages stick, but not those. But the sites I
need to manipulate are simple enough: all I really need to do is fill
fields, select from scrolling lists, and push buttons.
