You can do some, perhaps all, of what you want to do using the command line, which can be scripted using .bat files (assuming you are using windows). The multi-library stuff won't be straight-forward, requiring an export, and import, and then a delete. It also won't be trivial to do the searching to get the book IDs to operate upon.

As for GUI keypress macro programs, I have no idea. Google finds http://www.autohotkey.com/ as well as others.
Just the answer I was looking for, brilliant thanks.

I am proficient in writing .bat files and had forgotten the command line facility - silly me. (yep I have been around from b4 the web and can still fire up my Fidonet programs Allfix etal as well as all the Proboard stuff BBS - oh happy days. LOL!!!) Thanks for googling that program for me, I will check it out later. It could do just the job.
