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).
