DESCRIPTION

Simulate user input events.

A command that converts console key presses into arbitrary user input events, typically Symbian OS key events. Note, similar functionality is available via Autometric. However, the Autometric command syntax is intended for scripting as so is verbose. By contrast this command accepts single character inputs making it better suited to interactive use. Also, Autometric can only be used if the btrace buffer is free. This command doesn't use btrace and so doesn't have this limitation.
