I have a C program that uses the Execute function to perform the
cli command:  execute mybatchfile. The batchfile then goes off and
performs a bunch of time consuming commands. What I want to be able to
do is interrupt the thing in the middle (perhaps by typing ^C at the console).
Is there a way to send an interrupt of some kind (eg a ^D to interrupt 
the batchfile execution ) to a command that was started with the 
Execute function?  Or is there a way I can get directly to the commands 
that the batchfile is performing and send a ^C to their stdin?
Thanks in advance...
