I am posting this again as my previous message did not show up.

I have an external program with which I want to automatically log into
an account, navigate through sites, select combo boxes, radio buttons,
submit the sites, etc. An example is loging into etrade/yahoo mail,
navigate through the pages, place trades/forward email, etc. How do I
go after doing this?

Thanks

There are tools for testing web sites that record steps and repeat them for
you, so you have to step through the process once, then you can automate it
by recording the steps you took.  Perhaps one of those would be useful here?
