How does one send keystrokes from a VB app to
a MS-DOS app(edit.com)?

Use the method AppActivate and SendKeys!
Instead, I would use a batch file.

I would prefer to edit the file using Vb's own resources, not running Edit.com and try to change the file there

writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

Thanks for the input Nitro.
I am using Shell("edit.com C:\myfile") to open
the file. But SendKeys has no effect on it. (I read
somewhere that it does not work on NT, ie, using
sendkeys on MS-DOS apps). what do you mean by "instead I
would use a batch file"?
