[comp.windows.ms] Sending a string to another Window using DECWindows

samuels@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Mark E Samuels) (06/30/89)

Is it possible in X or Decwindows to send a string to the window of
another client and have that client read the string as if it had been
typed from the keyboard?  For example, if a command line based program
that knows nothing about X  windows is running in a terminal emulator
window(call this client #1) and client #2 is a program that wishes to
send client #1 a command, could client #2 send a string to client #1 and
have client #1 read it as if it had been typed into it's command window?
The goal is to put a graphical interface on top of an existing command
based application.  I am working in a VMS environment but am searching
for a solution which is not dependent on the operating system. Thanks
very much for your ideas in advance.
