the syntax for typeKey is: TypeKey ("key name") for you to simulate the f1 key, you would use: TypeKey ("f1") Also, if you open the common.jsm file, you will see where these keys have been defined as constants. In this case, you could use the appropriate constant for the key in question. However, if you are specifying a constant when using the TypeKey function, then you must not use the quotes when specifying the constant. in common.jsm the f1 key is defined as a constant. from common.jsm see the following constant definition. cksF1 = "F1", to use this constant to simulate the pressing of the f1 key the typekey function would be done this way. TypeKey (cksF1) One final thing. Be sure to include the common.jsm file in the top section of your script file if you plan to use any of these constants. >>> "Mark" <torgersonenator@xxxxxxxxx> 11:55 am Monday, December 01, 2008 >>> Hi How does a person insert the F1 key in the typekey command?
