I do this by defining an "auto execute" ProKey macro which waits a couple of seconds, then "presses" RETURN. The macro is invoked via a DOS command line immediately before invoking 123: prokey 123.pro/r /[alt0] 123 This makes ProKey read macro definitions from file 123.pro, then execute the macro named alt0. This same macro and command line will work with any program with an initial screen, such as Symphony, Framework, etc. If you're invoking 123 from batch, you might consider using ProKey macros instead of 123 macros, because the former can reside in a separate file which can be used with many spreadsheets. SuperKey has capabilities nearly identical to those above. I have no connection with ProKey or SuperKey except as a satisfied customer.
