problem automating click-n-ship

[ewjammer]

I'm having a bit of trouble with inconsistent responses.

The script below logs on to the usps web site and runs the click-n-ship procedure.

But when selecting address from the address book, the "space" command, which should activate a radio button, sometimes does not work.

I chose to use tabs, spaces, and enter commands to avoid the danger of mouse clicking on other computers which may have different screen sizes and different mouse coordinates. You know the problem.

The sleeps are a pain and are probably largely unneeded.

I wish there was a way for AutoIt to run in a sort of debug mode where commands could be stepped through one at a time.

Also a slow-down mode would be nice.

Thanks for any suggestions.
