Brace yourself. While it has much in common with AutoHotkey (AHK
being, essentially, a fork of an earlier version of AutoIt), some
rudimentary tasks that are easy in AHK -- for example, assigning a
script to a hotkey -- are more challenging in AutoIt. (Not for
nothing does AHK have "Hotkey" in its name, while AutoIt doesn't).
OTOH, AutoIt explicitly strives for a BASIC-like syntax (function
parens notwithstanding), so you may find yourself on familiar
territory.

Indeed -- though it took you two or three tries to get me interested,
as I recall.
