in thread Controlling a non-perl GUI

Do your odds on my success with remote controlling the GUI improve when I report that the GUI screen covers the whole computer screen, so there is no chance of it moving or wobbling?

Does it ever pop-up dialogues whilst you are programming it? If you make mistakes?

Are the menus contextual? Ie. Do the options available on the menubar, or within the dropdowns change at different points within the process of programming?

    Thanks everyone for your help. I am finally also getting a little help from the manufacturer. They have told me that the AssemblyRobot programs are put into a database that only MetaRobot can manipulate. I have also discovered that some of the manufacturer's own projects have been hampered by this poor decision. For example, it is not currently possible to pass a program developed on one machine to another, even though the machines may be identical. I'm going to go away now and will not add further to this correspondence unless I can do something interesting. Thanks again.

      Tell'em that if they'll donate the hardware, I'll fix their problem for them :)
