plugin for win 95a machines and am running itno trouble. I am using buddy
api to run the program and to send keys to the application to pass through
all of the dialog popups, but one popup causes a problem. All of the
dialog boxes are just "click ok" boxes, which easily accept an enter key
press via lingo, but one is a license agreement with a "yes" and "no"
button and will not accept symulated key presses to bypass. I have used
tab and enter to try to select the yes button and indicate acceptance, but
it does not work.

If you're not able to find a solution, you could try MasterApp's
mappSendFakeMouseClick or mappSendFakeMouseClickWait functions to click
the button.

Since I already have licenses for both buddy API and Direct OS, I was hoping to not have to buy yet another license for an Xtra that does such similar things.

Surely someone in Director land has had to install software from a Direcotr movie transparently before. Anybody have any ideas?
