Holding down the downarrow key for a few seconds.

[Popeye1]

I would like something nice and simple, I just want a part of my script to push and hold the down arrow key for a few seconds. Could someone show me how to do this? I used search but some of the results are a little complicated.

Try looking at Send() in the help file, that should get you started.

Send("{a down}") ;Holds the A key down

Sleep(1000); holds down the key for one sec

Send("{a up}") ;Releases the A key

Yeah I got that bit now, but what do I type to refer to the downward pointing arrow key? I can't figure out what to type to press it.

{DOWN} instead of {a}
