The function keys could be done in vbscript I suppose.

If you want that sort of typeahead, there is a simple solution.

You encapsulate the browser using the DHTML control in a VB
program. Then you get the browser style interface without the
headaches, and you can do any darn thing you please. That would
make it easy to add your own style sheet support at the client
level, so you can customize the interface user by user. You could
also keep the operator from going to yahoo or drudge.
