Default Using VBA with a DOS window

I am currently trying to develop a windows based shell, to run an ol
command line driven DOS progam. The idea is to use drop down menus et
to simplify the programs use.

I am using the keystrokes function to type in the commands so that th
window doesn't automatically close itself when it is finished. I wa
hoping that it could be possible to copy and paste the command promp
screen output, so that I can paste it (and hence use it) in Excel.

Does anyone have any idea as to how I can do this and/or links to an
websites that talk about working with DOS windows
