I hope some one can help.

I have the following scenario:

I log into my bank account and type in my password. Then
I am presented with a menu choices (web page). I click
on "statements" button. Another menu screen comes with
a drop down list which is a list of different dates for me to
chose from to download a textfile that shows account transactios
for that day. One by one I select many different days to download
bunch of files.

Now the question is:  Is it possible to write a Java program
that will automate the above task i.e. the Java program
will log into the bank account and take all the above steps
in the program. All the user need to do is to run the program.

If so then how?

By the way the above log in and menu choices that are
presented is itself a Java applet. Does this make a difference?
