I would like to be able to automate several routine tasks that I now do with
Lotus.  For others in the office who don't use Lotus I would like to
have them select a task from the menu of my program and then have my program
invoke Lotus, load a previously created spreadsheet, manipulate it, and then
maybe print it out.  I tried invoking it with i/o redirection but Lotus seems
to ignore the input file containing the commands.  I/O redirection has is's 
problems also because I don't know how to duplicate the keystrokes used in
Lotus, such as function keys and cursor keys in the input file.
 
Please e-mail me any suggestions or call at (404) 894-1397 or write to
