Passing CTRL characters

[Glen Bojsza]

Hi Dar,

I have been successful in the past killing open processes...I think I
should have added the example of what I'm trying to do.

I open a cmd window and then do a ping 192.168.254.300  which
continually  runs until you use a ctrl-c. This keeps the openprocess
cmd available for other commands to be sent to it.

So for not having elaborating more on this originally.

Glen
