I'm attempting to run a DOS app with this shell command:

  put shell("dosapp.exe < input1.txt > output1.txt") into fld 2

The DOS app uses 'pageDown', 'arrowKeyRight' and 'arrowKeyDown' values to advance through its menus. I tried putting those char values into my 'input1.txt' file by putting special placeholders in the data, then converting them before writing the file, like this:

  replace "#" with numtochar(65366) in tData
  replace ">" with numtochar(65363) in tData
  replace "+" with numtochar(65364) in tData

My initial test indicate something is amiss, but I don't know for sure that these values are the problem.

My real question:
What values can I expect the DOS app to recognize as PageDown, ArrowRight and ArrowDown values?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Phil Davis
