Actually, there's tons of this stuff. Here's an example of code running an
application.
Start Word 7.0
Open the WINWORD.CNT file.
Look for:
fDoTheISAction
Check the topic name and search the Help file for that topic.
You'll find each of these peckerwoods runs something in Word (just wait a sec).
Bad news? It's all *** hard-coded *** daddy-o.
I can getcha absolutely anything you want, but cheap it ain't.
And for lord's sake, don't muck with that CNT file or you'll hose it up for
good. Muck with a backup.
