Hi Gurus

I have an application running on Windows XP.
How do I or can I accomplish this or is it better to use python for
such activities
1) I like to be able to use ruby script to send mouse clicks at a
certain location point within the application screen.
2) I like to be able to use ruby script to send signals/keys/mouse
clicks to get to the menu
eg File->Exit

Any help is appreciated.
