All this does is trade on input terminal for another... and tie me to x as well.
no, it is just an example. You can start dosemu instead of xdosemu if you like and start dosctrl in another terminal. All that dosctrl does it to talk to fdout and get input from fdin in an infinite loop.

I know how to create and permission a FIFO it "talks" to dosemu fine ( dosemu reads from it ) dosemu produces ( bogus) output on the output pipe so we know it is connected to the output pipe....
so why do I get the Command "whatever" not found
no matter what I type?
if you type "help" it should present you with the above left.
And the light comes on at last...:)
I do have it setup correctly...
I just do not have a dos shell
I have the pre-initialization environment
Is this correct?

Does this "feature" actually work? ( in 1.1.5.6 ) Has it ever worked in any version?
( with normal FIFO files driven by a frontend )
it works like I showed you. Not more not less.
When I type "help" I get the correct output...:) but the keystroke command is giving me some trouble is the syntax like the -input flag?
or do I put them in plain? ( no quote and no trailing \r )
send me a couple of quick examples of
keystroke input syntax ( do you have to quote the string?)
