don't i just need the code

Send("abcdedfg")?

Send() will send to the window that has focus... look at ControlSetText() or ControSend().

Personally, if it's a .txt file, I just use FileWrite()/FileWriteLine() then open the file when everything is written to it.

1. No, I didn't say you could open a program with ControlSetText(), I said you could use ControlSetText() or ControlSend() in lieu of Send(). I also said you could use FileWrite()/FileWriteLine() to the .txt file, then use Run() to open the file right after, and you wouldn't have the concern of having to type it to an open window.

2. You'd be amazed at all the things you can do, as a matter of fact, there's this thing called the help file, that if you go to "index", and where it says "Type in the keyword to find:", if you typed Shut in there, poof, something pops up that may in fact help you.
