issuing an enter key through mstsc.exe

[thrlride]

I'm trying to come up with a script that will send an enter keystroke through a logged in mstsc.exe (remote desktop) session to a TSO instance on a mainframe. This will basically keep the TSO session logged in. Is there a way I can do this with autoit installed on my home computer?

Did you even try?

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
WinWait("xxx.xx.xxx.xx - Remote Desktop Connection","xxx.xx.xxx.xx - Remo")
If Not WinActive("xxx.xx.xxx.xx - Remote Desktop Connection","xxx.xx.xxx.xx - Remo") Then WinActivate("xxx.xx.xxx.xx - Remote Desktop Connection","xxx.xx.xxx.xx - Remo")
WinWaitActive("xxx.xx.xxx.xx - Remote Desktop Connection","xxx.xx.xxx.xx - Remo")
MouseMove(583,404)
MouseDown("left")
MouseUp("left")
Send("{ENTER}")

I simply opened RemoteDesktop connected to one of my servers, and used Au3 recorder... Yes, there are better ways... but here is a quick and dirty snippet to get you started...
