I use ProKey to automatically get past 1-2-3's initial screen and get
on with real work.  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.  Opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of
Intermetrics, or even mine.
