I sent a reply to Eric's message with an example of what I am doing.
Whay you suggest is valid for a "window" application that has the input

Sorry I should have made that clearer.

Thanks for that tip - I tried it and (see my other msg) it selects the
first menu item but the app doesn't respond after that.
