Send keys to command prompt

Question

_{Monday, May 25, 2009 2:07 AM}

I have an application that will open a command prompt (cmd.exe), and then types "ipconfig/renew". How do I send the enter key, to execute the command?

So far i have:

Process.Start("cmd.exe")
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("ipconfig/renew")
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys(Keys.Enter)

When I use "Keys.Enter", it sends "13". How do I make it press Enter, not put "13" on the command line?

Thank you so much for that. I'm only 13 and trying to figure out the VB lingo, that was the last thing I needed to complete my application! Thank You!
