DM> Can anyone tell me how to stuff keys into the keyboard buffer?

Here ya go:

============================== Begin code ==============================
DEFINT A-Z

DECLARE SUB StuffBuf (Keys$)

'***********************************************************************
'* SUB StuffBuf
'*

'* PURPOSE
'*    Inserts Keys$ into the keyboard buffer just as if it had been
'*    entered from the keyboard.  Note that only fifteen characters may
'*    be inserted or the machine may lock up.
'***********************************************************************
SUB StuffBuf (Keys$) STATIC
   Work$ = LEFT$(Keys$, 15)                  '15 characters maximum
   Length% = LEN(Work$)

   DEF SEG = 0
   POKE &H41A, &H1E                          'buffer head
   POKE &H41C, &H1E + Length% * &H2          'buffer tail

   FOR X% = 1 TO Length%                     'POKE each char one by one
      POKE &H41C + X% * &H2, ASC(MID$(Work$, X%))
   NEXT X%

   DEF SEG

   Work$ = ""
END SUB
=============================== End code ===============================
