Well Dave,
	I had this problem a while back and I found that the only way
to compile without actually going into turbo and hitting the keys was
to use a utility that put keystrokes into the keyboard buffer for you.
It is really neat to watch turbo run all by itself. The program is
called something like 'keyfake'. It is p/d and shouldn't be hard to
get. The only other problem is that when keyfake puts stuff into the
keyboard buffer, turbo intercepts it while compiling and gives you the
'continue (y/n)' message. Someone gave me a patch to stop this from
happening. I don't have this information handy right now but if you
put up a request for it you should be able to get it. Maybe you would
consider switching to turbo 4.0 ?
