Nice. Had never heard of this. Just used it to modify Window name of XtreMe PCR -- had been having problems getting Centrafuse to embed the window named 'XtreMe PCR'. Changed it to 'XM', now it embeds like a champ, no problems.
I also make heavy use of AutoIt for stuff like this -- that's how I wrote a simple script to click the acknowledgement for iGuidance. I don't have any VB programming experience so I can write simple scripts like this to do just about anything, works great. Ex: when I was running FrodoPlayer I made a script that added a GPS button to all screens: it would run in the background and wait until a certain portion of the screen was pressed. Then it would send the key commands/mouse clicks to switch to my GPS app (in my case iGuidance, with FP in mini-mode). Then I just modified the screens of the skin to include a GPS button on all of them. Could do this from Music, XM, external app, anywhere. It's a simple way to 'add in' any functionality of your choice until the next release of your favorite front end.
