	Hmmm.... Sounds like you need ScripIt.  I believe that it will
do everything that you want and more.  Scripit even has an ARexx port
and a program that will take a scripit script and turn it into a
directly executable program.  To make scripts you can write them by
hadn or use a recorder to generate an initial script.  The entire
package is very nice.  I got the latest version off a local BBS.
