Hi,
how can I, at the end of the execution of my console program, to prepare in the cmd prompt a command such as "dir a*.exe /OD" or RIND.EXE customer that I can confirm by Return key, modify or cancel?
I launch
c:\hse>select.exe
I select a file when select.exe ends its execution i will find in cmd prompt this
c:\hse>rind.exe customer
Many thanks to all

How about making that a menu choice at the end of SELECT.EXE, whether to end or call up RIND.EXE?

You might try stuffing the characters in the keyboard buffer, letting them supply the <Enter>

.... pretty sure Clipper Tools was implemented by default. Note 15 character maximum.

But I am afraid the your program will terminate, and the keystrokes will be consumed by either CMD.exe or the Windows interface.
