Can presionar be used to press someone to do something, or just to press a button? Could I say she kept press him to come and save her? Using seguir presionar?

It looks like you can use "presionar" in that way based on this entry from the dictionary:

To press somebody to do something = presionar a alguien para que haga algo

"Voy a presionar a Jeezle para que me diga la verdad".

"El jefe tiene presionado a Jeezle para que engregue un trabajo a tiempo".

"Aunque le he pedido que lo deje tranquilo, ella lo sigue presionando para que tome el curso de pintura japonesa que a ella le gusta."

It looks like "para que" is used to mean "until" in the above sentences. Also I can find no meaning listed for "Engregue" which I don't know. Finally, I'm not sure on this:

"Aunque le he pedido que lo deje tranquilo, ella lo sigue presionando para que tome el curso de pintura japonesa que a ella le gusta."

Even though he had asked her to leave him in peace, she keeps pressing in order that the "takes??" the curse of the japanese painting that she likes. I don't get all of that sentence. Gracias.
