Now that I have bash and a lot of other things installed and working I'd like 
one more thing -- I'd like to be able to start a win3.1 program from the bash 
command line (running in a dos box under win3.1).  

It *should* be possible to send messages to win 3.1 from a djgpp program 
running in a dos box.  (It is possible to cut and paste from the dos box using 
the control box in the upper left corner of the dos window.)  The question is, 
what is the interface?  I've got the widows 3.1 SDK and Visual C++ 1.5, but 
can't locate the information I need.  Does anyone know a source that won't 
require me to spend a lot on Microsoft Press books?  

Or, has someone already done this?  (Yep, I've looked in the faq list, but 
haven't tried the mail archives.)

Thanks,
--
