Dear Anna,<br><br>Are you trying to simulate keyboard input? If so that might be OS dependent.<br><br>This is just a guess, for 'CTRL-E' you might try:<br><br>char ctrle[2] = {0x05, '\0'};&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/* ASCII ^E == 0x05 */<br>exec( &quot;myapp.exe&quot;, &quot;&lt;&quot;, ctrle);<br><br>Good luck<br>-pete
