    sending events with JScript?

    I know that this isn't the best place to ask about this, but does anyone know if it's possible to send keyboard events with JScript (MicroSoft JScript, not javascript)?

    I'd really appreciate it if somebody could either give me an example of how to do this or point me to some tutorial page where I could figure it out myself. That's of course only if it's possible to send kb events with JScript in the first place.

    uh... figured it out myself with a little help from the MSDN database
    if anyone else's interested and wants to initiate keyboard events through WSH, you can just write something like this in your script files:
    Code:
    WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys("{CAPSLOCK}");
    //createobject returns a wscript shell object containing method that accpets a keystroke string as its argument
