I am new to this forum thing, i did "multi-post" but i did it only on
2 sperate groups, i
spent quite some time frasing my question and if a where to rewrite
it,it would not have
been better than my first attempt, im sorry this offended you,,
It did not offend me. Don't sweat it.
...i wont do it again
Note that it is OK (with most people) to *cross*-post
messages between two groups. Read that first link I put,
it explains the difference, and why most people do not like
multi-posting. Here is the link again
<http://www.physci.org/codes/javafaq.html#xpost>
now that i know its a no no.
Cool. But be aware you can achieve much the same
effect, without the sidetracking comments, by
cross-posting.

i would still apreciate some help ...
FWIW (For what it's worth) your original speculations
about the Robot, combined with Twisted's comment
on JNI, pretty much sum it up. I (for one) know of no
other ways you might achieve the desired goal.
I will add though, in case you had not already realised,
that Java is not a language well suited to these 'delve
into the guts of the OS' type problems.
Robot is very kludgy and fragile for this type of problem.
JNI is platform specific, so most of the code will be..
something non Java, called by a thin Java layer.
