Hi Don,

This is my first post to this forum.

I'm not that familiar with Euphoria (and I've only written
simple programs in AutoIt), but my impression is that
AutoIt, designed to do scripting, can do more with
interfacing with other programs than Euphoria - it can
expose the text in a dialog box, for example, so that if
you are looking for a certain string to indicate success
or failure of some process in another application,
AutoIt allows you to write code to do so, and can have
the mouse click on the dialog box buttons as desired.

Or, can Euphoria do this as well?

Friendly regards,
Patrick Murphy

  From AutoIt's documentation
<http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/>:

AutoIt is a 'growing' scripting language.  It started as an add-on
tool to automate basic tasks in GUI's of other programs.
These tasks (like sending a keystroke or clicking a button) are still
the core components of an AutoIt script. However with the recent GUI
additions, you can now incorporate your own graphical interface using
native AutoIt script commands.
The new COM (Object) functionality fills the gap with WSH languages,
such as VBScript/JScript. Under certain conditions you can now even
use WSH-like scripts on otherwise unsupported operating systems (like
Windows 9x/Me/NT).

With this combination of GUI Automation, GUI Interfaces and COM
support, AutoIt offers you a powerful scripting tool that is able to
compete with fully-fledged scripting languages like WSH or KiXStart).
