The URLMON library contains this function, URLDownloadToFile, which is a way
to download files without user prompts. The ExecWB( _SAVEAS ) function always
prompts the user, even if _DONTPROMPTUSER parameter is specified, for “internet
security reasons”. This function gets around those reasons.

Posting an XML file to a web service

m.WS = CREATEOBJECT("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")

LOCAL URL AS String

* the location of the service that receives the data
m.URL = "http://www.example.com"

LOCAL XMLFilename AS String

* your XML data
m.XMLFilename = GETFILE("xml")

* post the file contents
m.WS.Open("Post", m.URL, .F.)
m.WS.Setrequestheader("Content-type", "text/xml")
m.WS.Send(FILETOSTR(m.XMLFilename))

* get the http status code

loGatewayService = CREATEOBJECT("MSSOAP.SoapClient30")
loGatewayService.MsSoapInit("http://....SomeWebService....

like it is suggested in this thread :
http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1399175&page=1

and I added this before calling the web service :

loDOM = Createobject("MSXML.DomDocument")
loDOM.LoadXML(lcXML)

INKEY( ) Function

Returns a number corresponding to the first mouse click or key press in the type-ahead buffer.

INKEY([nSeconds] [, cHideCursor])

Parameters

nSeconds: Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a keystroke. If you do not specify a value for nSeconds, INKEY( ) returns a value for a keystroke immediately. If nSeconds is 0, INKEY( ) waits indefinitely for a keystroke.

cHideCursor

Shows or hides the cursor, or checks for a mouse click. The following table lists values for cHideCursor.

cHideCursor	Description
S	Show cursor.
H	Hide cursor.
M	Check for a mouse click.
E	Expand the keyboard macro if a keyboard macro is assigned to a key or key combination. To return successive values for each keystroke in a macro, execute INKEY( ) repeatedly with E included.

Note
If both S and H are included in cHideCursor, the latter character specified takes precedence. You can combine values for cHideCursor, for example, to check for a mouse click and show the cursor, include M and S. To check for a mouse click and hide the cursor, include H and M. INKEY( ) disregards characters other than S, H, M, and E in cHideCursor.

Return Value

Numeric. INKEY( ) returns 0 if a key has not been pressed. If several keys are present in the type-ahead buffer, INKEY( ) returns the value of the first key entered in the buffer. INKEY( ) also returns the following values according to certain conditions:

If M is included for cHideCursor, INKEY( ) returns the value 151.
If E is included, INKEY( ) returns a value corresponding to the first keystroke assigned to the keyboard macro. If you omit E, INKEY( ) returns the value for the key or key combination that triggers the keyboard macro.

For single keys and key combinations using the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys, the following table lists the return values for INKEY( ). A dash (–) indicates that the key combination returns no value.
