JavaToolBox - can I run interactive comand?

[Igor.Beslic@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello everybody!

I need advice on how to automatize one procedure.
-There is abouth 20 steps that an operater must pass to finish whole 
procedure.
-All 20 steps have to be completed interactively througt menus (display 
files) provided by one RPG program.
-And last thing, all steps must be performed with authorities of precisely 
defined user profile. Loging on os400 system with that user profile brings 
only menus for accoplishing THE LONG AND BORING PROCEDURE.

My expirience with ToolBox is next:
-record access from WinPC to iSeries
-running some non interactive commands

Questions:
-can I run interactive program with toolbox??
-if I can, can enyone tell me which classes to search documentation (and 
examples) for?
-is there any class that implements behavior of emulator/session window or 
at least enables programer to make program that would perform THE 
PROCEDURE as one human would (signon, enter choice, press enter, press 
F12, enter choice, press enter... signoff)



One of my colegues has some windows VB API for reading screen of IBM 
Emulator window. With it he can manipulate interactive programs (enter 
values in fields if posibile, analyze content of screen and much more). 
That api is sensitive on OS (even if he moves program between two 
different windows platforms).  I want that my program can be used on win 
platform and os400, so Toolbox would be right thing for that.

Please give me some good advices.
