As far as I know, you can't do this. Actually communicating with an open
browser to fill in fields on a page and then press a button is not something
I've ever though about doing. As a long shot, it might just about be
possible on Windows with DDE and the Externals Collection, but I don't think
this is very likely and wouldn't have any idea where to start.
What you *can* do is post to a URL from inside MetaCard, and then get back
the resulting page. Use the post command to do this, and search through the
list archives for examples of this command in action.
