Jim/Bill,
I took a quick look at the altBrowser demo. I could not actually try
scripting with it, because the demo is a stand alone. However, I
could manually log into the site and it remembered that it was still
logged in when I restarted it later. So if I can direct which page
to open and get the html of that page, it would technically work in
this one case.
If altBrowser came with an external command (fake keyboard and mouse
driver) to move the mouse, click, and enter keystrokes. Then it
could be programmed by Rev to automatically (after a fashion)
navigate sites or control Java apps (that don't change their layout
dynamically). This could be useful for some people. If it did this
I could have justified the price for my use --it is a bit steep for
personal use, but for someone else who wants to distribute it as part
of a stack, it is a bargain.

Jim,
I may be wrong, but I believe the altBrowser works as a "black box"
and you
cannot automate with scripting the login process or any other
activity on
the site. You simply have the ability to integrate the OS browser
into a Rev
stack (going to particular URLs, displaying custom HTML text, etc.).
[Not that that isn't VERY useful.]
One additional thought that occurs to me is that many sites have "web
services" that allow you to get information, for example in XML
format,
bypassing the usual login procedures. You might look into that.

One avenue is to consider AltBrowser, which is actually Safari/Mac or
Explorer/Win32 inside a Rev stack. You can compile an app cross-
platform.
Works great for me, but you may want a solution that does not require
purchasing software.
