Use "*Keys {to ^+=appname}...". See the section in the help file
"Sending *Keys to a new window"
where, in fact, the "*wait ready" is mentioned too.
"*wait ready" would be very handy if it worked reliably.
As a matter of fact, however, I found it rather unreliable, e.g.,
for "iexplore.exe" and/or especially for the console windows.
Actually, the console windows are my main headache with PP.
