Alright. NirCmd. I've busted it out again, and it's not cooperating with the emulator.
Assume a fresh install of the latest version of DOSBox.
nircmd.exe and nircmdc.exe are both dropped into C.
In the Run dialog: c:\nircmdc.exe script "c:\df.ncl"
In df.ncl:
| Code: | exec show "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.73\dosbox.exe"
cmdwait 2500 sendkey enter press |
DOSBox should have an extra Z:\> in there afterward, but it prefers not to.
Going for broke now:
| Code: | exec2 show "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.73" "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.73\dosbox.exe"
wait 2500
win activate ititle "Frameskip"
wait 500
sendkey 0x41 down // 'A'
wait 500
sendkey 0x41 up
wait 1000
win close title "DOSBox Status Window" |
Nothing. It's actually stubborn enough to ignore that last line.
These commands will all work on Notepad, but not on the one application that I really care about. Any pokage in the right direction is much appreciated. Although as I finish writing this, I'm now thinking of running NirCmd from inside the belly of the beast. I wonder if that might work. *looks at invisible watch* Firstly, I've got a busy sleep schedule to attend to.
Edit: "This program cannot be run in DOS mode."
Thbpthbp! I'm off to bed.

Yeah, nircmd is a windows app, won't run in DOS. 
[Edit: Looks like DOSBox doesn't respond to sendkey. You'll have to use a scripting app that can use the SendInput API. AutoIt may be able to do this, I'll check.]
[Edit: The following AutoIt script works for me:
| Code: | Run("E:\Programs\Emulation\DOSBox\DOSBox.exe")
Sleep(5000)
Send ("{ENTER}") |
]
