Thanks for the point in a great direction.

UPDATE to this problem.

I Figured out how to start MicroStation and am now trying to use Win32::GUITest to push buttons or sendkeys to the MicroStation GUI but to no avail. Pretty sure that this is a MicroStation problem of not using traditional MS coding so back to the pit to find out what Bentley did and how to invoke thingies on their application in the MS space.

Thanks, Mike
