Why can't I sendkey to my dos shell window?

[tpq]

I couldn't send any keyboard stroke to a dos shell window.
Here is my aspect script:

proc main
integer TaskID
integer WinId

set aspect keys on
winminimize $PWMAINWIN
run "cmd" TaskID

taskwin TaskId WinId
winfocus WinId

sendkeystr "dir`r"

winmaximize $PWMAINWIN
endproc

Thanks

My hunch is that this is due to it being a DOS window and not a true Windows application.

As a workaround, you can use the dos ASPECT command to get the directory listing and pipe it a text file that you can then load.
