Does anyone have an exec for IBM which is simply a shell to execute programs on a hard drive at the touch of a key? Buck

I have a small bug to iron out relating to "colours" on a monochrome screen, and I have to make some decisions about how to chain. I cann't get any keyboard buffer extenders to work on my system, so I have to work out a strategy to either write a batch file, and push keystrokes into the limited buffer, to overlay the current process (doesn't then allow the chained process to shell) or to use 4dos's keystack driver, which is not standard. If anyone has any brilliant ideas, I'd love to hear from you. Meanwhile, I'll make something that works (perhaps the batch file) and I hope to post it to c.b.i.p & SIMTEL20 this month.
