If anyone has or knows of any software that might help this person, please
let me know.  I'll pursue making it available with the appropriate product
management.

I use VMS and DECwindows on a VAXstation 2000, and I am gradually
losing the use of my hands because of a neurological disease.

What I would like is some software that would put a display of  a
keyboard in a window on the screen, and let me pick out keys with
the mouse, and send "keystrokes" to DECwindows as  if  they  came
from  the  real  keyboard.  I can probably write it myself, but I
thought I would check first whether anyone had already done it.

Does anybody know of such a thing?

       	Oh, just like the mac has had since version 1!

       It would be good for a program that provides such function to
       be a decw$example.
