Programs for Filling In Web Forms?

cafebabe asks: "My mother has severe arthritis and must do a lot of her shopping online since it is painful for her to walk. Since she also has trouble typing, she needs a program to help her fill out all of the data entry fields on web sites. When I was home over Thanksgiving, I saw that my mother had Gator on her computer. I uninstalled it, explained spyware to her, and installed RoboForm, which I had heard good things about. RoboForm ended up causing her computer to crash so my father uninstalled it. Is RoboForm really the best thing out there or do any of you know of something better?"

    Option Explicit 'Set an automatic error for all undefined variables

    Const promptTitle = "Enter Private Key Password"
    Const ShowSigningStatus = True

    Dim Wshshell, fso, oExec, shell, counter, tmp, signResult, exeError, objArgs
    Dim strPassword: strPassword = ""

    'Create an object array of the command line arguments
