Im trying to learn...

Thought Id write a simple script where I could:

highlight a phone number,
hit a hot key (windows/space)
have the script copy the number,
open XP phone dialer,
open new dial dialog box,
paste the phone number
and dial the phone number for me...

I got this script to copy the phone number:

#space:: ^c


I then tried to open dialer.exe and got stuck...

#space::
^c
Run dialer.exe
return

I need a hint please as to what's wrong. I can open dialer with the run dialer.exe command. However when I put the two together it only copies the number.


Thanks
Scott
