Trouble with SendKeys
 

I am using:
appID = Shell(path) to get the ID
I can then use sendkeys to send the {enter} key (this moves the program
running in the shell off the title page and into the menu)
After this, it doesn't accept any more commands?
The shell still has focus, but for some reason is not processing sendkey
instructions.

Side question:
Is there a better way to control an older dos program that starts through a
batch file? There are no dll's, but there are about 5 exe's in the
application's folder. Can anyone guide me to what I need to learn?

Thanks in advance, Yo.
