I run a batch file in DOS that calls an EXE program a number of times. The EXE program has a pop-up message that requires an OK (mouse click or return key press) to start. Is there anyway I can add something to my DOS batch file to give the OK automatically?

Not having a copy of the bat, all I can offer is a guess..
try inserting echo |y The | is the pipe command.

but the echo command doesn't allow the |y to act as an actual command try START(open file command) then /y then file.

Neither method seems to work the /y option is reported as an invalid switch. The "echo |y" as a bad command.
