I would like to create a batch (.bat) file that would have the same
effect as typing "SHIFT F10 k". I have no idea of what to enter into the
file but I am sure it is trivial. Can someone help?

Dennis:

Try this in the batch file:

====================

ECHO Shift F10 k

====================

Should work
 
If what you want to do is invoke a Function Key (F10) via a batch file,
that is not "trivial" and easy to do. As far as I know you can't do it
in a batch file without third party tools/applications. It might be
possible to do with a script (VB or other) but I don't know for sure.
Furthermore, the F10 Function needs to be focused, it acts differently
for different programs, you will have to send it "through" the
application you want to use. It might be easier to do this with a Macro
Recorder.

Thank you. I was just trying to figure how to get a button on my mouse
to select a specific item (mark all read) from a context menu. The
keyboard method is SHIFT+F10 to open up the context menu and k is the
selection. The mouse only allows one key or I can call a file or
program. I wanted to point to a newsgroup and click the side mouse
button (Microsoft optical mouse 6000).

I just found a single key method after searching all of the menus. It
was CTRL+SHIFT+c. So I don't need the batch file. Thank you anyway.

You don't want a batch file, you want a script or a macro program. I
recommend the free Autohotkey from http://www.autohotkey.com .
