Hi Jerry, after getting familiar with Assembly and forever reading the 
80XXX echo, I started to start on learning C++ and
how wonderful to find that you participate here as well!  Kinda like the same 
teacher in a different class...  anywayz, I'm very new to C++ and I 
understand the OO part of C++, I'm barely scratching the surface on learning 
the MFC and API (somewhat confused actually) but what I really want to get 
straight to is to learn or know how to write a program (Windows based) that 
will 'control' another program within windows...  as an example, I'd like to 
run my program in Windows, which will cause another Windows program to 
load--and when it does, it will 'push its buttons' and control it as a user 
would...  if you can't explain it easily, then I would be grateful if you 
could at least direct me to a good book that can explain it (If possible)...  
any help appreciated...  thanks in advance...
Mark
