Thank you... but it's not working.
Using 'keystroke' is not going to work for me because 1) the pesky
program
*does* in fact clear the keyboard buffer, and 2) i cannot be sure how
long
the program will run before it begins looking for that "\r". So I'm
back
to the pipe idea. Except that when I try running a loop of "echo -ne
'\r'"
and pipe this into dosemu I get the following error:
ERROR: slang_keyb_init(): Couldn't tcgetattr(kbd_fd,...) errno=22
Any idea what this is? But more importantly, any idea about how to get
beyond this?
