I have a TSR utility, called "Replay", that I wrote for my own use.  The only 
thing it lacks is the ability to read and write the keystrokes you create, and 
there is a setting to capture Mouse cursor movements that I have not 
implemented.

Among other features, it provides named macros for function keys F1-F10, 
delayed replay of keystrokes until a specific date/time, and the ability to 
preserve the delays between keystrokes.

Because the program is over 1,000 lines of code, I will send it, via email, to 
anybody who wishes a copy.  It was written for Borland C++ 2.0, and uses only 
library calls from the run-time library (no third-party libraries are 
required).

Although it is a copyrighted program, I allow free and unrestricted personal 
use of the code.

Caveat Emptor:  Since I wrote this for my own use, don't *expect* support (you 
can ask nicely, though).  There is also *no* documentation for the program.  
Read the source.
