The purpose > of this is to create test scripts that can be used for Q/A. NeWS has a feature that captures all mouse and keyboard input. It sounds like just what you are looking for. Version 1.1, and it is called journalling. The user interface controller works just like a tape recorder. Try it, you'll like it! Paul Matz PPG Biomedical Systems Pleasantville, NY. 914-741-4685 ppgbms!paul When X11/NeWS finally hits the streets, you will be able to use the NeWS journaling facility to play back events to X clients as well as to NeWS clients. (According to people working the merge.) That's because there is one unified event queue through which all X and NeWS events go. -Don

I have coded this and it is fully functional. I will be releasing the source code to the net after a brief beta period of about two weeks. Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone, too bad I can't wait for the merged News/X server in July!! -Jim Becker ...sun!athsys!jim
