Does anyone know how to bypass the Lotus 1-2-3 copyright notice, and
their arrogant insistence that I read it, and "Press any key to
Continue", before I can get on with my work?

I am trying to put together a system which involves using 1-2-3 in batch
(unattended, non-interactive) mode  - I can invoke it under the control
of my UNIX system.  The auto-start worksheet and auto-start macro
capabilities provide just what I need, but the whole process is
frustrated if someone has to stand by the PC keyboard just to press a
single key.

I've tried redirecting input to 1-2-3, and also forcing a carriage-return
into the keyboard buffer.  No luck.  (They seem to clear the buffer
before waiting for a key).
