Keyboard Redirection in a DOS batch file?

Does anyone know how to do this in a DOS batch file?

Normally when I run this windows online program and am finished and close it
down, I have to then type "S" to stay connected online (otherwise, the
default behavior is to disconnect from being online (I'm using dial-up).

So instead, I'm creating a batch file to run (call up) that program, so that
when I close the program, I want the batch file to send the "S" character to
the keyboard buffer automatically, so I don't have to type it in each and
every time.

I know how to call up the program in the batch file - that's no problem.
My problem is how to get an "S" to be placed in the keyboard buffer just as
though I had typed it myself, before the batch file terminates.

Does anybody remember how to do this? (I'm familiar with the "" redirect
operator, but still don't know how to do it).

Thanks!
Bill

Do any of these utilities work for you?

Not a exactly a batch, but you could use vbs script instead. (save
send.vbs, etc)

Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run("notepad")
WScript.Sleep(3000) 'wait (3 seconds (# milliseconds))
oShell.Sendkeys "S"
WScript.Sleep(2000)
oShell.Sendkeys"{ENTER}"

I don't have a clue, but, I bet anyone of half a dozen people here do:

alt.msdos.batch
