I am trying to control software, Animate-3d for example, while the
computer is left unattended.  After generating my images, I want to
single step through and allow an external device to record each image;
after which the device would acknowledge the image had been recorded and
tell, via the serial port and the software in question, Animate-3d to
bring up the next frame.

I am under the assumption that a small program that would watch the
serial port and when a signal is received, send the appropriate
keystrokes to the keyboard device is feasible, but not having Amiga
manuals I don't know how to go about this.  Anyone have any ideas?

Also, which manual(s) cover the Amiga devices?
