(from Bob)
Is it possible to use a number in conjunction with parameter, i.e. 15\t or \t15 to have AutoType issue Tab 15 times? I used Note box and entered Line 1 as \t\t... 15 times and then used \01 as first AutoType parameter to insert the 15 Tabs prior to User & P/W

    I think you meant "...15 times and then used \o1 as first AutoType parameter..."

    The user could also have put the 15 \t followed by \u\t\p\n as the entry autotype sequence and not have to use lines in the Notes for this, but maybe using lines of the Notes was preferred.

    Since the windows version now supports the special code {Tab} maybe it's better to have two version of this code for this purpose. So you could have a {Tab} or {NNTab} where NN is any number from 1 to 99. Then all the new special codes (e.g. {Space}, {PgUp} etc.) could be generalized in this way.

    The slashes got stripped by sourceforge.

    Trying to see if I can get them to show. I mean to say:

    "Since the windows version now supports the special code \{Tab} maybe it's better to have two version of this code for this purpose.
