**What it does**

**Prototyping keyboard response**

Making the proper files of keyboard responses for use with command files is most easily done if you prototype the process by simply running the program and keeping a careful record of the keyboard responses that you need to give to get the program to run properly. Then create a file in an editor and type those keyboard responses into it. Thus if the program requires that you answer a question about what to do with the output file with a keyboard response of R, then wants you to type a menu selection of U (to have it use a User tree), then wants you to answer Y to end the menu, and another R to tell it to replace the output file, you would have the file of keyboard responses be::

  R; U; Y; R;


Testing the keyboard responses with an interactive run will be essential to having batch runs succeed.
