I'm having a bit of a go with the Notepad tutorial on the site.

I'm following along with the instructions.

after typing in each line I hit F5 to test it.

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

All is good

Send("This is some text.")

At this point I hit F5 and instead of the script running, it pastes the quoted text into the next line of the script.

Such as.

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

Send("This is some text.")

This is some text.

When you run notepad, it takes FOCUS away from SciTE and puts it on the new instance of notepad.

Then, you put the FOCUS back on SciTE to type in the next line and hit F5...

Send("This is some text.")

At this point I hit F5 and instead of the script running, it pastes the quoted text into the next line of the script.

Because SciTE had FOCUS, that's where the Send() text went.

To send to a specific window regardless of whether it has focus or not, use ControlSend() instead of Send().
