I have a:
- DOS program that calls an I/O routine (I have the source)
- OS2 character mode application (executable)
The DOS program generates input for the OS2. Is there any way that the 
DOS program could act as a keyboard - typing data to the OS2 app?
It seems easy to have the DOS app send data (this could be from a DOS
box or through a serial port from another computer). The problem is how
to get the OS2 app to receive the input. In DOS a keyboard TSR could
do the work - but I dunno how to this in OS2.

Any clues, references, or strategies would be appreciated. I am NOT a
strong OS2 person.

	Thanks in advance,
			Aaron
