.  Try using Command Post 7.0, by Wilson WindowWare. You can use it as
the main Windows shell, replacing FileMan and ProgMan together. It's
available on CompuServe (GO WINAPA, #15) and a few other places I can't
think of. I got my starter copy from the Boston Computer Society IBM
User Group Software Exchange. Registration is $49.95 and gets you a
printed manual and a disk of the latest version (I think it's up to
Version M now). One of the best features of CP is customizable menus -
it includes a language processor that lets you write your own functions.

   A recent product from WWW is Winbatch, which is essentially the
language processor from CP, augmented and made into a standalone. It
lets you write batch files for Windows, doing things like sending
keystrokes to a running application.

   (I'm not connected with WWW, I'm just a satisfied user.)
