Now I understand why I have found so many difficulties!...
An example of APIs is those available for better controlling Google
search engine.

Unfortunately all that leaves the need of specific programming for
each case... I am obliged to learn C++ and Qt (in particular
inter-process communication).

About SPE, he is a little beside the point, but I insisted so much on
web examples...

Perhaps you are right, but for me a macro language
(like for ex. AutoIt) is very general, being only a mean of emulating
the user, running automatically external applications.

Never complained... I was only favorably impressed by the
sophistication reached for assuring stronger security.

At last a new entry (has) completely off the point (FWIW > FICCL!...).

Bye.
