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. - Gregg Reno (posting on samuels account)
