Chuck,

Do you mean you have a way of automatically putting data on a workstation
screen, as if the user typed it? If so I would be very interested in knowing
how you  do it.

        You can find stuff to break the boredom !

        This is really getting off topic, but YEARS ago we had figured out
hot to write
        interactively to a screen when it was not general knowledge. We had
a guy in doing some
        training with a junior programer and he was another know it all (we
were NOT mean, I'm
        sure you understand the type of person I mean. There are very
knowledgeable folks that
        don't act like it, are helpful and share, and don't flaunt it in
your face - the ones I
        call know it all's are NOT like this...).

        So we wrote a program to "eat" the screen that was up (no matter
what screen) character
        by character (could of course to a whole line). The junior
programmer had been tipped
        off and she excused herself and came to us and said "You're not
gonna BELIEVE this but
        the dude said it must have been something atmospheric !!" !!!

        We about died, and then changed so that after it "ate" the screen,
it popped up the word
        A  T  M  O  S  P  H  E  R  I  C... Unfortunately that was intended
for the next day and
        he never came back...
