I have almost no understanding of JavaScript.

This technology enables a truly universal GUI scripting language to
be created. I am attempting to estimate how difficult it would be to
approximate the functional benefits of my technology using
alternative means.
Peter...
As far as I understand it, you have written some kind of scripting
language coupled with a "screen scraping method" that can analyze
the visible "controls" of any other application ,from MS-DOS to native
windows applications, and expose those to your scripting language.
And now you're asking if this is possible to achieve in javascript
(And Java, in another NG)...?
JavaScript is not a stand-alone programming language. It always
runs in a "Host".
When it runs in the Windows Scripting Host, it can access
and manipulate the objects and properties exposed to it by the WSH.
There is no objects exposed by the WSH that enables javascript
to analyze the visual state other applications external to the WSH.
When running in a webbrowser, it can access the objects and properties
exposed to it by the webbrowser.
There is a *huge* object model exposed to JS by the webbrowser that
let JS analyze an manipulate the visual state of the document loaded in
the webbrowser hosting it. But not any applications external to the
browser.
So rest assured! JS will/can *never* be used to develop something
that can compete with what your patent claims to do.
