Maybe I am doing this all wrong!
Code follows the narration...

I am retrieving characters from a listbox and sending them one at a
time to a running DOS program.   (win2k CMD actually)
The program was selected in a previous routine and the characters are
indeed sent to the open CMD prompt.

I have noticed all character must be in upper case for the cmd to
receive them so, as an example the text box has the following lines in
it.

TELNET MAIL.SOMEWHERE.COM 25
HELO ME

This works but the "." is not interpreted correctly 
I discovered that a lower case "n" is interpreted as a .

MAIL FROM: SOMEONE@SOMEWHEREnNET  // notice the "n" for a period
RCPT TO: dekaya@SOMEWHEREnNET    

But that is not the correct approach because I can't send the needed @
symbol

DATA
From: RemoteAccess
To: SOMEONE@SOMEWHERE.NET
Subj: What is My IP Address


Bottom line:  How do I send  CR/LF   and special characters



---------------------------------------------------------

void __fastcall TForm1::SendKey(String SCharacter)
{
  HWND handle;
  handle = FindWindow(NULL, EditTargetApp->Text.c_str());
  if(handle != NULL)
  {
  char *character = SCharacter.c_str();

  // bring it to the front
     SetForegroundWindow(handle);

    // send the letter to the program; parameter MUST be uppercase
    
    keybd_event(*character, 0, 0, 0);
    keybd_event(*character, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);
  }

}
