wait>0.2
send>b
wait>0.3
send> o.k.
wait>0.2
press enter
wait>2
Send Character/Text>Good Bye
BlockInput>0

Do not send the message in the CMD window open, and open windows of other programs, Skype, IE and others. How to get text to go in the CMD window ???

You need to use a SetFocus> commnad before you use Send/Press/MouseMove* commands. Only need to do once for the window until you move focus to another window, then will need to do it again for that window.

Hi koleviko,

In addition to Bob's advice you may also need to add this command prior to the Send/Press commands to command prompt (DOS) windows:

Let>SK_LEGACY=1

For most other windows this is not required.

That already works well.
Thanks!
