Re: Automating yarn

I'm trying to automate YARN 95.02.
One of the things I need to do is close the yarn window.
In other words, I want to send several ESC chars to the window.
This allows Yarn to close down neatly.

I have found a free app
http://www.teleport.com/~garumble/windows.shtml

which will send characters to windows
with a script as simple as
send,YARN,\e\e\e

However, a "known bug" in the program is that Windows will not
pass keystrokes along to DOS windows.

I thought that YARN95 was a Win95 console program ... it seems I have
the worst of both worlds. For example, you can't paste into
YARN95.

I guess I'm looking for a way to start YARN95 in a Win95
window, not DOS. Or any other solution.
