thanks for this david also. but, problem is, that I still have to be able to
move to the actual location of this thing with Cursor, requiring a
findString? or is there some other way of gleaning the coordinate location
of the Word if StringContains proves successful? I didn't think there was
any other way other than FindString, since I need to be able to calculate
positions of other things to read, based on coordinate of the string
OnScreen.
But, in answering this, you have introduced to my head two things I am
shamefully ignorant and tentitive about utilizing. namely the while loop.
plus the IsKeyWaiting deal as well, I never thought of that one before. man
there's a whole bunch to learn in this scripting deal is not there? It'll be
years before I'll feel like I can say my head's really around all this
stuff.
