How can I add a line in a .bat file, that will send the <Enter> key ? Hope
this is not a dumb question. I tried pressing Enter on a blank line in the
.bat file, but as I imagined, it behaved like a line with nothing on it.
What I'm trying to do is use the Startup folder to automatically Synchronize
an Active Desktop item, by running a .bat file that runs Mobsync.exe,
followed by sending an <Enter> keystroke.

I also tried and failed to locate any Help for Mobsync, that would show me a
parameter to achieve the same desired effect. I already know an
alternative. I can go out, and download a keystroke recorder program, which
I will eventually do anyway for more complex macros. But if at all
possible, I would like to learn how to do it in a .bat file. Sometimes,
Quick and Dirty is simpler.
