I think people looking at this so far would be concerned with the follies of double entry and/or the kludge of pasting structured text into some foreign application.
How about having your jBase app transparently doing a post into the online store? If the online store is backed by BASIC code then that's sort of senseless, just call a subroutine. But since you're considering pasting structured text into a web page, it sounds like you have control of the source code there. If that's the case, consider exposing a "page" or web service from PHP or whatever the store language is, which accepts POST data as you've specified, or perhaps better structured. Then from BASIC use cURL or similar to make the outbound call to post that data to that page. If you really need to do what you're asking, and I strongly discourage it, consider forcing the terminal emulator to select the relevant screen text, and then script a paste into the currently active browser. This can be done with AccuTerm and a tool like AHK. Before you ask "how?" note that something like this should not be done, and I'd insist on being paid to provide details for something as ugly as this, where I have no problem providing more info about good solutions for free. :) HTH T From: Charlie Noah It's not always convenient or practical for the person taking the phone order to be in the store checkout when taking the order.

Why are you doing it twice at all? Why not just enter the data directly into the web form as your customer is giving you the information over the phone? -- -- IMPORTANT: T24/Globus posts are no longer accepted on this forum.
