This is from the October, 2000 issue of the VFUG newsletter series of articles that Ed Rauh and I wrote.

* Create the Shell reference
oShell = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
DECLARE Sleep IN Win32API;
    INTEGER dwMilliseconds
oShell.Run("Notepad")
oShell.AppActivate("Untitled – Notepad")
= Sleep(100) && Pause VFP for a 1/10 of a second 
oShell.SendKeys("This sends a sentence to Notepad from VFP.~")
