I've been trying to use the Robot class over a network with a server opening notepad and typing some words in on the client desktop though the most I have been able to achieve is to open notepad and even then my client gives an error, the server continues to run until I shut notepad though gives an error too. "HELOWORLD" instead of "HELLOWORLD" is the output wherever the key cursor is resting even if inside the client code, notepad is left empty. Can anyone please help.
