I have incorpated an old menu program (called 3DMenu) into DOSBox.
It is called when DOSBox is started.
I would like to make some of the menu selections call programs that
would send, for example; "ALT-ENTER", "CTRL-F9" to DOSBox. Each menu
selection creates a DOS batch file. Is my idea possible ?

Thanks in advance,
Gary

It's not possible with dosbox as-is. Maybe you can change the sources
though to get something like this working.

Thanks for the quick response. I did accidently find that placing the word
"exit" in a dos batch file is equivalent to DosBox's CTRL-F9
