using alt key in macros

    I'm trying to write some macros for my menu buttons. Some commands are
    only available via pop-up menus (dialogue boxes), such as the
    find/replace command. I can navigate my way through these with the alt
    key, so in theory I can fully automate my macro, since no mouse input
    is required. In reality however, I can find no way to simulate an alt
    key in a macro.

    Can anyone help? I have a feeling that it may not be possible to
    simulate an alt keystroke (due to windows limitations), but if so,
    what alternatives are there for making macros where dialogue boxes are
    unavoidable? I know some commands (ie., insert) can be run from the
    command line (-insert), but not all, so far as I can tell.

    Thanks!
