| Have you tried putting an acDelay call after close application? It may be sending the keys too quickly |

Did all combinations of acdelay rob no go.
acCloseApplication(nil, gsx, gsy)
acDelay (500)
acSendKeys("n")
when i do the above for example, and i run it, i get the options to click on
"save" "dont save" "cancel"
when i click on cancel the cursor returns back to the notepad file naturally and i see that it types "n" in the text file no matter how long i take to click on cancel. Is that a helpful ?
so if the text in the notepad was "test" it is later "testn"

for me, this works: acSendKeys("%{F_4}n")
no need acCloseApplication nor acDelay |

Nothing wrong with your code!
maybe acCloseApplication() use SendMessage method:
acSendMessage(acGetForegroundWindow(),0x10,0,0) -- 0x10 WM_CLOSE
acSendKeys("n") will bring you "...n"
acPostMessage(acGetForegroundWindow(),0x10,0,0)
acSendKeys("n") will do what you want.
Sending a message to an app will send the message, and then WAIT for the message to be processed BEFORE RETURNING.
Posting a message to an app send the message to the applications message queue, and then returns immediately, WITHOUT WAITING for the message to be processed.
What do you think, ROB?! |

| Yes, newbie, you're quite correct! I should probably use PostMessage instead... |
