Hello everybody,

After I start the dosbox via a frontend ( my own implementation ). Can
I get access to the console where I can type in?

I use Java as programming language and there I can get an output-stream of the dosbox-process but if I try to send some command like e.G. "DIR"
nothing happend.

I guess I get only the output-stream of the DosBox Status Window. Am I wrong?

Regards,

Olek

The "command window" (dosbox main window) is a graphical surface so
no standard input/output redirection is possible.
