Thread-topic: Sending keystrokes to another program
Paul,

>From what I remember from the earlier thread, if you are trying to catch
every keystroke a person types and send it to another system, the users
system will get bogged down and feel very sluggish for the user,
(especially if they type fast). It now sounds like that is not what you
are trying to do from this email and that you only want to capture
specific keystrokes for remote control.
