Those that I've looked at require that the PC be idling at the DOS
prompt, because they just stuff the apppropriate strings into the
keyboard buffer to execute. This means that if you are using an
editor at the time, that string goes to the editor (or the computer
beeps to alert you that it is trying to run the job but can't.)
