Just to point out. VFP has its own internal keyboard buffer. This made creating automated test case difficult. Because of this the MOUSE and KEYBOARD command does not effect model system dialog windows (MessageBox). In order to send keys and mouse strokes to the system, it requires WINAPI type calls. Perhaps look into the SendKeys method of the WScript.Shell.
