Here is a rough general skeleton:

WaitWindowOpen>WindowName*
SetFocus>WindowName*
Press Tab as needed to source location
Select text
Press CTRL
Send>c
Release CTFL
Press Tab to as needed to destination location
Press CTRL
Send>v
Release CTRL

That was a stripped down version all in the same window with fields that you could move to with Tab key. Selecting text may differ on what you want, the full line, first 5 chars, middle 7, etc. so you will have to make the entries to do the selection. You may use Up/Down vs. Tab, etc.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
Bob
