Make turing actually perform specific key inputs?

So make turing actually type the letter T or symbol @?

I want to create a neat program but would require to know whether or not this is possible. Any idea's ladies and gentlemen? Razz

I'm not sure what exactly you mean. In what sense?

code:
put "l"..
delay (150)
put "i"..
delay (150)
put "k"..
delay (150)
put "e"..
delay (150)
put " "..
delay (150)
put "t"..
delay (150)
put "h"..
delay (150)
put "i"..
delay (150)
put "s"..
delay (150)
put "?"

cough cough...

code:
var output : string := "Or rather this?"
for x : 1 .. length (output)
    put output (x) ..
    delay (100)
end for

or maybe
code:

put chr(116)

um..... do you mean for an input of the user output a random char?

if that is the case simple
get input
put randint cast it into a char forgot how to do that in turing...
but ya
and if you want each inputed letter to be entered as another char
then i think 26 if statements would work

for example
Turing:

 if input='a'
then
input :='any other char you want'
end if

Sounds pretty illegal!
I don't know of any command that might help you steal other people's personal information (joking Very Happy ).

If you are thinking of what I think you are thinking... then that is system specific, so no, Turing can't do that.. not directly.

Meh, thought so. Thanks Tony.

For the rest of you who assumed I don't know how to input text... just wow .. Razz

I meant like creating a turing program which could run in the background and actually type out characters on it's own. Basic idea was to make a screen capturing program like Fraps. Didn't think it was possible but wanted to ask anyways. Guess my initial question was slightly confusing Smile

Turing can't take screenshots outside of its own window either Razz

And Fraps isn't really a screen capture program.. in a way that you can't make screencasts with it. Fraps hooks into either DirectX or OpenGL (or both? I don't remember the options available) and logs the render frames.
