Fake typing?

[Mike Bonner]

Would the type command do what you want?

>From the dictionary:
Note: As the type command is designed to emulate exactly what happens when
a user types a key on the keyboard, the rawKeyDown, keyDown, rawKeyUp and
keyUp messages are sent by the command. If these messages are blocked, the
text will not appear in the selected field.
