I haven't been able to figure out if this is in the design of V11, if it isn't
there needs to be a way of doing it.

If you have an application which has some relatively complicated features,
and this includes virtually all applications beyond writing and drawing 
programs, you need a way of creating a demo.  It would be of value to have
an experienced user sit down and use the mouse and run the application through
its paces while at the same time tee-ing all the mouse activity and button
clicking etc to a file.  Then as a demo one could simply play back the 
tee'd file and the application would run itself.  It would also be a way
of creating macros etc.   The trick as I see it is to get X to think the
mouse is a file??

Anyone with suggestions???
