Sergey, Martín,

I want the code works as it is written:

*1. implement keyboard input, meaning do it as if user did it manually
keyboard "hello" &&I need to see hello on the command window

*2. do subsequent line no matter what it is. For transparency here is the wait window command

wait wind "HELLO" &&I want to see this wait window waiting for user response

Interesting enough, Gerry Schmitz sometimes can get it, sometimes cannot:
