CMD.EXE is a DOS window and will not work with send key. You have few
choices


1) Put your commands into a ".BAT" file and execute the bat file from
the shell command

shell("CMD.EXE c:\temp\mybat.bat")


2) Open a explorer window

hndl = Shell("c:\windows\explorer.exe")

3) Open the application directly using the shell command

hndl = shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe")
