[LV 5.01 & Win98] Control a Windows Application

Hi merry wirers!

I'd like to control a windows program from out of a labview VI.
Using DDE (I don't know how do that but there ought to be examples
somewhere 😉 ) I could OPEN it allright ... But what I would like
to do is to enter a few numbers into one of the programs forms and
(which are to be found under a certain menu item which would also
have to be selected) and hit the button.

How would that have to be done? Can one sort off imitate key strokes
under labview? I could start the application by the EXEC.VI ...

The scripting host? I've never done anything with that so I'd have
to learn that too. How would one have to start a script from LV?
Use the CSCRIPT.EXE?

Thank You,
Christoph
