Having Turing Interact with other programs

-----------------------------------

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I'd like to learn how to make Turing interact with another program. For example, I'd like to open up Google, and have Turing type in there for me. (I know how to make it open Google, but not type.)

Or for my Turing program to input information into another application, (So I could make a Bot/AI to defeat a game flawlessly. Etc)


What is the problem you are having?
I've over looked the Turing Walkthrough, the tutorials, and google. (I'm sure another has asked the question, but the Google searches are filled with Turing hits not related to Holt's software, and I believe there are 11k topics to look over at Compsci.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I've searched what I know to search to find a solution to my problem.


Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1

Not possible, since Turing's library doesn't provide full access to the Windows API.  At best you could try 'talking' to a program which supports the functionality you're looking for from your Turing program.

If you find Turing limited, you can now feel free to add whatever features you think Turing is missing.

There is still basic coding I don't understand. I don't think I'd achieve too much aspiring to expand something I don't know.
