TN3270 or HLLAPI sendkey

[FrogmanL]

I'm trying to create a simple script to send some keystrokes to a TN3270 terminal session (Hummingbird HostExplorer). If I send normal characters, the vbscript works fine, but when I use a command like SendKeys "{ENTER}" nothing happens. From what I've read, the TN3270 window uses command for enter. I thought maybe I could use the HLLAPI.DLL to interface with the TN3270 window, but I have no idea where to start, and I don't know if I can use a DLL call in vbscript.

Has anyone else tried automation with TN3270 sessions?

I wish to know how we can automate 3270 sessions with VB scripts.
Like moving cursor to one positions and then checking what is the vaue at that cursor position.Please help.Please guide with examples.
