Scripting in VICE emulator

Hi!

Is there any way to write scripts in VICE emulator, I mean to tell VICE to perform some commands automatically, not interactively?

If you don't get what I'm trying to express, here is what I am trying to achieve:

Have emulator started, and then have it automagically act as if the following set of commands has been entered:

F1 key pressed
LOAD"FILENAME",8,1 entered and RETURN key pressed
SYS26345 entered and RETURN key pressed

...and after these emulator operating in its normal interactive mode again.

I just don't want to type all of these text constantly every time I run emulator program. I want them to be there already right after it starts.

This is a generic concept, I'm just wondering if such feature is feasible in VICE and if it can be enabled by some internal scripting language or any other way.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Command lines?

-keybuf <string>
Put the specified string into the keyboard buffer.

you could use the autostart option...
WinVICE-1.21\html\vice_3.html

Could be yo have to have a basic line for that but that is the easiest way to do what i think you are trying to do...
