        OK Steve following our telephone conversation I have also enlisted the
help of a fellow programmer of mine called Phill Cozens who will be
emailing you also.
        Now as I said on the telephone the method of getting a char from the
com port and placing it into the keyboard buffer is quite simple.
        The big problem you will face is that what ever application cas the
current focus will be the one to process it.
        This can also be worked around by getting the instance of all running
applications and selecting the one of interest and sending the
WM_KEYDOWN message to that window.
        I will put together a rough prototype over the next few days and get it
to you. just to confirm the protocols will be 9600,8,n,1 (with no H/W
handshaking) the "commit" char will be ASC 03.
